Outline and Purpose of the Course Solid State Physics, as well as Condensed Matter Physical Chemistry, have been developed successively to address Properties of Matter quantitatively. We seldom face a “new” physical property because our human beings have been always associated with the Matters, and the needs for understanding the properties of the matters have been also mandatory to live in any situations; thus finding and claiming “a new physical property” of matters are very challenging, exceptional, and extraordinary case for scientists. Let us consider on conventional thermal properties, electrical (electronic) properties, optical properties, and magnetic properties. In any properties, they are discussed in terms of their corresponding quantitative values with physical units. A “new physical property” should be associated with the values with unique physical unit, and this is implying “a new physical property” as an extraordinal one. Our scientists have to be prepared when one claim on the finding of “a new physical property”.
Herein this classes of Condensed Matter Physical Properties, we will start from a simple model of materials, molecules, and chemical substances as a platform for the further discussions on their physical properties, going to the representation of the physical properties, particularly of structural properties, electronic properties, thermal properties, and magnetic properties. How the properties can be controlled by a specific parameter of the matter, how the parameters correlate with each other; those concepts will be in your mind in this classes via a variety of assessment techniques of the physical properties.
Course Goals Based on fundamental physical chemistry concepts,
1) Understanding intercorrelation between geometrical “structures” and macroscopic properties of matters with the model of macromolecular chains.
2) Understanding electric (electronic) properties of molecular materials: Starting from simple electronic band theory and electron transport.
3) Understanding thermophysical properties of materials: Starting from simple quantized lattice vibration (Debye) model and specific heat
4) Understanding of magnetism: Starting from simple band theory, Hubbard model and Stoner model

Interaction of electromagnetic waves and/or ionizing radiations provides the fundamental basis of any assessment techniques of physical properties discussed in the classes.
