Be able to: freely master the commonly used terms of solid state theory.

Full-time form

Know the basics of general physics, electrodynamics, statistical physics and quantum mechanics, as well as features of the crystal structure of solids. Be able to apply previous knowledge of courses in mathematical analysis, differential and integral equations, general physics, electrodynamics, statistical physics and quantum mechanics, as well as a special course "Crystallography".

The course "Quantum theory of solid state" considers: the general Hamiltonian of the crystal and adiabatic approximation; methods for calculating the electronic subsystem of crystals; theoretical bases of kinetic processes and thermoelectric phenomena; vibrational properties of crystals; theoretical bases of magnetic properties of solids; quasiparticle approach in the theory of solids: electrons, phonons, magnons, etc.
