Teaching

PHZ 3400, Phenomenon in Condensed Matter Physics

This is an upper level undergraduate course which serves as an introduction to condensed matter physics. Condensed Matter physics is the study of materials and their properties. It is a branch of physics highly relevant to everyday life and we will discuss many applications and condensed matter in modern technology.

The course will cover a wide variety of topics in solid state physics, and soft condensed matter.

Course Textbook

"Solid State Physics" by Hook and Hall. In general the materials covered in the lectures are presented in the text.  You can obtain this book from the campus bookstore or on-line.

Additional texts and reading materials will be announced as the class progresses.

I will be teaching PHZ3400 for Spring 2008 If you have any questions about the course feel free to e-mail me.
