and Fridays for the first two weeks of Easter Term.
Supporting material:
Text books:
- J. Singleton, Band Theory and the Electronic Properties of Solids.
- C.Kittel, Introduction to Solid State Physics.

In many key areas, the book by Singleton (which started as a lecture handout in Oxford)
covers the course well. The books by
Kittel and Ashcroft&Mermin are useful for other areas not covered
in the Singleton book as well as for background reading and context.
