Condensed State Physics (F3230)

15 credits, Level 6

Autumn teaching

On this module, the microscopic structure of crystalline solids will be related to the observable material properties such as:

  • thermal expansion
  • heat capacity
  • electrical conductivity.

You’ll cover insulators, semiconductors and metals, describing the differences in electronic and vibrational contributions in each.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We鈥檙e planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We鈥檒l make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
