A single home for the full lecture notes, past exams, the formula sheet, course announcements, and a big-picture orientation to how the models fit together.
The complete Open Solid State Notes — all 15 lectures with worked solutions, interactive figures, and code. The whole course is really one recipe (states → density of states → fill with statistics → integrate) run in four acts:
Einstein → Debye · phonons
Drude → Sommerfeld · Fermi sea
LCAO · tight-binding · nearly-free · crystals
semiconductors · doping · diodes
The narrative spine of the course — what we're actually trying to do, the one recipe behind every model, and from-scratch derivations of the Boltzmann factor and the Bose–Einstein distribution.
From the course forum. Each links to the paper and its worked solutions.
