Synopsis

This book contains my lecture notes for the Winter 2013, University of Toronto Condensed Matter Physics course (PHY487H1F), taught by Prof. Stephen Julian.Official course description was:"Introduction to the concepts used in the modern treatment of solids. The student is assumed to be familiar with elementary quantum mechanics. Topics include: bonding in solids, crystal structures, lattice vibrations, free electron model of metals, band structure, thermal properties, magnetism and superconductivity (time permitting)."This book contains:- Plain old lecture notes. These mirror what was covered in class, possibly augmented with additional details.- Personal notes exploring details that were not clear to me from the lectures, or from the texts associated with the lecture material.- Assigned problems. Like anything else take these as is. I have attempted to either correct errors or mark them as such.- Some worked problems attempted as course prep, for fun, or for test preparation, or post test reflection.- Links to Mathematica workbooks associated with this course.
