Here is a list of topic that need to be"expanded" Wiki-style. Please add your name to the topic you choose to work on, and add appropriate sub-pages not here, but within the Lecture Notes and/or homework materials.

  • Quantum-mechanical theory of the chemical bond. Explain the origin of covalent bonding and the core repulsion
  • Mean-field theory of the Ising model (Caitlin)
  • Monte Carlo method - simulations (Peter)
  • Boltzmann dilemma: How is spontaneous symmetry breaking possible in view of the ergodic hypothesis? Domain wall argument. (Caitlin)
  • Valence vs. core electrons. Estimating the density of carriers in elemental metals using the periodic table.
  • Theory of the Hall effect, and how it is used in measuring the density of carriers(Daniel)
  • Solutions to Problem set 1a (Peter)
  • Solutions to Problem set 2
  • Solutions to Problem set 3
