The aim of this course is to teach the fundamental concepts of quantum statistical physics and to enable students to gain the ability to analyze physical systems (fermion gases, semiconductors, photon gas, Bose-Einstein condensation) using Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics. The course covers the grand canonical ensemble, occupation number formalism, Fermi-Dirac statistics and its applications to semiconductors, electronic specific heat in metals, Bose-Einstein statistics, photon gas, and blackbody radiation.
Introduction to quantum statistical physics and properties of quantum structure, grand canonical ensemble and occupation number formalism, Fermi-Dirac statistics: definition, properties and applications to semiconductors, general properties of Fermi gas and electronic specific heat in metals, electron-hole structure in pure semiconductors, Bose-Einstein statistics: definition, properties and applications, photon gas and blackbody radiation, Bose-Einstein condensation.
