Course Goal / Objective
Solid state physics is (still) the study of how atoms arrange themselves into solids and what properties these solids have. The atoms arrange in particular patterns because the patterns minimize the energy in a binding, which is typically with more than one neighbor in a solid. An ordered (periodic) arrangement is called crystal, a disordered arrangement is called amorphous.. All the macroscopic properties like electrical conductivity, color, density, elasticity and more are determined by and can be calculated from the microscopic structure.
