Solid state physics is part of condensed matter physics, and deals with the physical properties of systems composed of large numbers of atoms that strongly interact and organize themselves into solids. Their properties cannot be explained by the properties of individual atoms, but they emerge from the collective behavior of all the atoms in the system. Specifically, the course introduces the fundamental concepts and properties of crystals and electrons in crystals in a modern approach, focusing on a quantum mechanical description.
