A metal in a magnetic field has its Fermi sea sectioned into onion-like layers, shaped like cylinders. These are Landau levels, due to the h...

There are many more phases of matter than solid, liquid, and gas. Superconductivity is a different phase of matter, and superconductors in t...

When superconductors go superconducting, the energy gain is called the condensation energy. Lecture Audio

The quantum stability of a superconductor ensures that electrons can carry current perfectly, without losing energy. There are 2 ingredients...

We finish off the low temperature corrections to the magnetization in a ferromagnet due to spin wave excitations, and also calculate the ene...

We started off today with a demonstration of Barkhausen Noise in ferromagnets. (Your refrigerator magnets are ferromagnets.) If you've ever...

Ferromagnets spontaneously break a continuous symmetry -- that is, when the net magnetization develops, it must choose a particular directio...

How many electrons get polarized when you apply a magnetic field to a metal? Is it all the electrons inside the Fermi surface? It turns out...

Magnetic moments in a solid come from the electronic spin, and also its orbital angular momentum. We review how the orbital angular momentum...

Paramagnets have magnetic moments whose directions fluctuate wildly with temperature. But, if you apply an external magnetic field, you can...

There are many flavors of magnetism in solids. You're probably most familiar with ferromagnets (like your refrigerator magnets). In these ma...

We derive the Einstein relations, which connect the conductivity with the diffusion coefficient. This is far more exciting than it sounds, b...

We answer that question: can you use a p-n junction to run a light bulb? More about the p-n junction: thermal equilibrium, and recombination...

We talk more about holes today. They don't really exist, you know! But when only a few electrons are missing from the valence band, it's so...

Today is all about semiconductors. We talk about how to dope them. Donor atoms "donate" electrons into the conduction band, giving n-type se...

Electronic energy levels in simple crystalline solids have a bandstructure to them. (Bandstructure is just energy vs. wavevector or momentum...

We solve for the electronic states in a 1D crystal in the "tight binding" approximation. Rather than starting from the box of free electrons...

Have you ever wondered how electrons can sneak through a metal and conduct electricity with all those atoms in the way? It's Bloch's theorem...

We give some intuition today about when you should expect the Wiedemann-Franz ratio (which relates the electrical to the thermal conductivit...
