AA 2010-11
During Academic

Jan 2011):
"Structure of Matter" (a funny traditional name),
Laurea
Magistrale, year 1, semester 1
This class will include a revision and complements of atomic and
molecular physics, and an overview of basic solid state physics.
The program (still evolving) is here.
Foundations of Computational
Physics, Laurea triennale, year 2, semester 1
By "popular demand" (no one else wanted it) I am once again in charge
of a course that I ran under various
guises for 15 years (about time for a change). This one is 5-credit. Here is a
resource page, with various links, program, codes, assignments, doc,
etc.
AA
2009/2010
During
Academic
year 2009/10 I taught three classes for a total of 24 credits.
In the
first semester (Oct to Dec
2009):
Solid State Physics 2 for graduates
(Laurea Specialistica)
This was about magnetism. Program
In the
second semester (Feb to May
2010):
Computational Physics for
undergraduates (Laurea triennale) - program
(08/09, but still applies)
This was the last instance of a course that I ran under various
guises for 15 years. About time for a change. This one is 6-credit, and
includes numerical linear
algebra, partial differential equations in
2D, the MonteCarlo Metropolis and molecular
dynamics methods. Here a
resource page, not properly maintained. The assignments for this course
are here.
Solid State Physics for
graduates
(Laurea Magistrale)
This big (12-credit) course has just ended. We have done
quite a bit of work on basic solid state (except for lattices/symmetry,
diffraction, phonons, which were treated in a previous course, and
superconductivity which is the core of another higher level course). A
rough synopsis with a sketch of book references is available here.
Video clips of most lectures are available on request. This course will
not be held in the future in this form due to change in the physics
curriculum.
