  • Boltzmann dilemma: How is spontaneous symmetry breaking possible in view of the ergodic hypothesis? Domain wall argument.
  • 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
  • Solutions to Problem set 1a
  • Solutions to Problem set 2
  • Solutions to Problem set 3
