This
page contains links for an introductory graduate course in Solid
State Physics. This semester it is being taught in room 106 Nicholson
Hall from 10:30-11:30 MWF (see the LSU calendar
for important dates). For a more complete description of the course,
please see the course syllabus.
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, the notes
and homework assignments are available for the first twelve chapters
of the course. Homework solutions will only be posted for a few 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 and
Astronomy, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge LA. Include your
email address, and I will send you what I have). A public http
subdirectory for each chapter can be accessed by clicking on the
corresponding graphic. These materials are currently being
revised,
so please come back to this page for updates. Each of these (updated)
subdirectories contains at least three files:
