Course description and aims
This course provides a comprehensive view of the central concepts of following topics in physics; magnetism by localized magnetic moments, quantum theory of electric conduction in metals and semiconductors, topological insulators, superconductivity, atomic-layer materials.
Students will study basic concepts under novel phenomena which happen at various aspects in condensed matter physics.
Student learning outcomes
Condensed matter physics deals with the various physical properties of condensed phases of matter. The goal of this course is to provide students understanding of basic concepts of several hot and improtant aspects of modern condensed matterphysics.
Keywords
magnetism, semiconductor physics, atomic-layer materials, metals, and superconductivity.
