Summary

This subject supposes knowledge of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical physics and creates theoretical shell of following lectures: Solid State Physics, Metallic and Non-metallic materials. Theoretical models (used in Solid State Physics) will be showed to understand of material properties that are important for physical engineering (particularly metals and semiconductors).
