Course objectives
The subject acquaints students with the fundamentals of Solids state physics, whereas the students are expected to have knowledge of quantum mechanics fundametals.
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- master mathematical fomulation of crystal lattices construction,
- be able to solve equations of motion of crystal lattice vibrations using harmonics approximation,
- understand the concept of phonon and priciples of superconductivity in deep mathematical and physical level
