Lectures 6 and 7 for short course on metals and superconductors
by Michael Nielsen on October 13, 2003
PDF notes for lecture 6 (Fermi-Dirac distribution) and lecture 7 (energy density and specific heat in a free electron gas) of my short course on metals and superconductors.
Fun notes. Does this mean you are going to become a condensed matter theorist?
Thanks.
I figure that I only have to prepare another couple of hundred lectures like this to call myself a condensed matter theorist…
(Alas, there are far too many interesting things. I have a list of subjects as long as my arm that I’d like to prepare lectures for.)
