Lecture

Semi-classical Electron Motion in Solids

Description

This lecture covers the semi-classical approximation in solid state physics, defining wavepackets and equations of motion. It discusses the behavior of filled and partially filled bands, effective mass, and motion in uniform magnetic fields. The Hall effect, Quantum Hall effect, de Haas-van Alphen effect, and conductance of perfect and imperfect 1D conductors are also explained.
