Goal: This solid-state physics class aims at providing the basics theories that allow to understand the properties of materials.

Content: 

• Review of electronic band structures.
• Effects of interactions: plasmons, polarons and polaritons.
• Effects of magnetic field: Landau levels, probe of Fermi surfaces, quantum Hall effect.
• New states of matter : superconductivity, magnetic phases, spin Hamiltonians, magnons.
