properties of materials and, more generally, systems with many degrees of
freedom, ranging from fundamental questions to technological applications. The
topics explained in this pdf include:Introduction, Electrons in the periodic
crystal - band structure, Metals, Itinerant electrons in a magnetic field,
Landau’s Theory of Fermi Liquids, Transport properties of metals, Magnetism in
metals, Magnetism of localized moments.
