Explores phonon frequencies, heat capacity, thermal properties, vibrations in solids, free electron gas, Fermi function, and density functional theory.
Covers crystallography concepts, including veganicide cells, reciprocal lattices, and Brillouin zones, essential for understanding electron behavior in crystal structures.
Covers the transition from free to nearly free electron models, exploring energy levels, Fermi surfaces, effective mass, and electron behavior in metals.
