Goal of the course
Advanced Condensed Matter Physics course with emphasis on the concept of broken symmetry in solids, elementary, quasi-particle and collective excitations, energy dispersions dictated by symmetry, low energy effective theories. Electron-electron interaction, electron dynamics, transport theory, magnetism, superconductivity, experimental probes as NMR, neutron scattering.
