In order to follow the lessons, the student must pass, before, the exams of Physics, Mathematics. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course has the target to supply to the student the molecular bases to understand, from a statistical point of view, the three laws of thermodynamics. The second target is the understanding of the electric and electronic behaviour of the solids ( metals and semiconductors). TEACHING METHODS Oral lessons The course in presented with the aid of slides (Aulaweb). The slides can be downloaded by the students before the beginning of the lessons. SYLLABUS/CONTENT First part Statistical thermodynamics: distinguishble and undistinguishable particles; Maxwell-Boltzmann approximation; macroscopic thermodynamic parameters calculated by statistical way (heat, work, Internal energy, entropy...); qualitative analysis of the Bose-einstein and Fermi-dirac statistics. Second part Electronic properties of solids; free electron theory; band theory in solids; electroinic specific heat; electrical conductivity; semiconductors and superconductors.
