This page contains links for an introductory graduate course in Solid State physics. For a more complete description of the course, please click on the graphic within this text for course syllubus. All of the original material is copyrighted to prevent others from publishing it for profit. However, please feel free to use and distribute these course materials (profit free) to your students. Also, email submissions of solutions, chapters, revisions will be gladly accepted and posted on this site (especially those involving computer symbolic manipulation, simulations, and visualization). Presently, only the notes and homework assignments are available for the first sixchapters of the course. Homework solutions will only be posted for two weeks after their due dates; however, they are available by request to Professors at other universities (please send a regular-mail request written on letterhead to Mark jarrell, Dept. of Physics, ML-0011, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati OH 45221-0011). A public ftp subdirectory for each chapter can be accessed by clicking on the corresponding graphic. Each of these subdirectories contains at least three files:
