PTP 301 SOLID STATE PHYSICS 3 Cr. (2
Lecture + 3 Practical)
• Prerequisites: PTP 201, Offered in fall.
• Introduction to the basic concepts of the quantum
theory of solids. Topics: periodic structure and
• symmetry of crystals, diffraction, reciprocal lattice,
chemical bonding, lattice dynamics, phonons,
• thermal properties, free electron gas model of metals,
bloch theorem and band structure, nearly
• free electron approximation, tight binding method,
fermi surface, semiconductors, electrons,
• holes, impurities, optical properties, excitons, and
magnetic properties.
 Over all aims of work
• The purpose of this course is to give an
introductory account of the basic principles
of solid state physics.
• Help the students who wish to obtain sound
background of the physics of condensed
mater. It is of value for the metallurgist, the
engineer and the researcher in this field.
• It lays down the foundation of the basic
knowledge and the physical principles
required in building up the physics of the
solid – state.
• The nowadays great advance in
industrial fields and modern technology,
raised on immediate need for a better
understanding and control of the
properties of materials.

• Learn the students the basic aspects,

techniques and models use for dealing
and elucidation the suitable materials
necessary for a required applications.
