12 Apr. 2013: An introduction to Mathematica 9 is scheduled on 26/04/2013 at 10 am in Seminar room 1, BCTP, Wegelerstr. 10, covering some of the listed topics.16 Apr. 2013: Corrected (hopefully obvious) typo in lecture timings initially mentioned on webpage.
Extras:
12 Apr. 2013: You can obtain a student's license of Mathematica from here.16 Apr. 2013: Experimental signatures of Kohn anomalies (indicated by arrows) may be seen in Fig. 9 on Page 141 of this review article. Note how well ring diagram calculations agree with neutron scattering data.
04 June 2013: For a popularized exposition of SDW and CDW, have a look at 'Charge and Spin Density Waves' by S. Brown and G. Gruener, Scientific American Magazine (April 1994).
Exercise sets
We aim to have 10-14 exercise sheets. At the end of the semester there will be a written exam, involving mostly calculation.
NOTE: The participant needs to attain at least 50% of tutorial attendance and 50% of the homework points to qualify for the exam.
Please submit the homeworks during the tutorials on the due date mentioned:
