Physics: Solid State Theory

Education facts

Code: FYST68

<p>The course shall provide a better understanding of central concepts in solid state physics and their relation to the basic theories of quantum mechanics and electrodynamics. The students shall learn how these concepts can be applied to model physical effects quantitatively. Particular emphasis is given towards topics relevant to ongoing research in solid state physics and nanoscience in Lund.</p>

Entry requirements

Admission to the course requires 135 credits in natural science including 90 credits in physics and 45 credits in mathematics, or a Degree of Bachelor in physics - in both cases including knowledge equivalent to FYSC23 Solid State Physics, 7.5 credits, FYSB23 Basic statistical physics and quantum statistics, 7.5 credits, FYSC20 Electromagnetism, 7.5 credits, FYSN27 Quantum Mechanics, 7.5 credits (at least taken), and English 6/B.
