Description: Discusses the techniques of group theory and symmetry considerations applied to solid state physics. Uses these techniques to analyze and develop the theory and experiments of ferro and anti-ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, spintronics, and correlated fermions. Students whose research is relat- ed to solid state physics receive a letter grade; other students receive a letter grade or
Credit: Satisfactory (S) or No Credit (NC) grade.
