Condensed Matter Physics

Condensed matter physics deals with the macroscopic properties of solids and liquids. It involves chemistry, quantum Mechanics, and statistical mechanics.

Some important concepts

• Electronic band structure; i.e., the arrangement of electrons in the material.
• The nature of phase transitions.
• The scattering of light by crystals. (This can be used to determine compound structure.)
• The usage of magnetic fields for NMR spectroscopy.
