Course Mottos:

In teaching, writing, and research, there is no greater clarifier than a well-chosen example.

Formalism should not be introduced for its own sake, but only when it is needed for some particular problem.

Lecture 1: Thermodynamic properties of materials and measurement methods

  • Topics: Specific heat in thermodynamics, phonons and specific Heat, anharmonicity, electronic specific heat, relaxation calorimetry, QD PPMS, contributions to specific heat, thermal expansion, capacitive dilatometry.
