	Objectives
	KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY THE COURSE AIMS TO GIVES CONCEPTS AND BASIC IDEAS TO DESCRIBE THE SOLIDS AND THEIR PROPERTIES, AND IT INTRODUCES THE STRATEGY TO UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPMENTS AND TRENDS IN THE STUDY OF MATERIALS AS WELL AS THE EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES USED. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENTS WILL ALSO HAVE THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, OF THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL METHODS OF CALCULATION OF THE TRANSPORT PROPERTIES AND THEY WILL KNOW THE MOST USED EXPERIMENTAL METHODS TO THE STUDY THE SOLIDS. IN ADDITION, THEY WILL UNDERSTAND THE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY, THE THEORIES INHERENTED AND THE PRINCIPLES OF OPERATING OF THE MAIN DEVICES EMPLOYED. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING AT THE END OF THE COURSE THES STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO SOLVE SIMPLY PROBLEMS OF SOLID STATE PHYSICS. THEY WILL ACQUIRE THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE TO THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL MODELS OF SOLID STATE PHYSICS IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE ELECTRONIC/OPTICAL/STRUCTURAL/MAGNETIC AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ASSESS THE ORDER OF GREATNESS, TO CARRY OUT ELEMENTARY CALCULATIONS AND TO SOLVE SIMPLE PROBLEMS REGARDING THE PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS.

	Teaching Methods
	TEACHING ACTIVITIES WILL PROVIDE BOTH LECTURES AND LABORATORY ACTIVITIES. DURING THE LABORATORY ACTIVITIES, SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS, CONNECTED TO THE THEORETICAL TOPICS DISCUSSED DURING THE LESONS, WILL BE PERFORMED.

	Verification of learning
	THE VERIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF THE LEARNING LEVEL REACHED BY THE STUDENTS WILL BE REALIZED THROUGH A FINAL ORAL TEST. DURING THE THE ORAL TEST THE STUDENTS HAVE TO ANSWER TO A SERIES OF QUESTION ON THE CONTENT INDICATED IN THE PROGRAM AND PRESENTED DURING THE LESSONS. THE EXAM IS DEVOTED TO GET THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE, CONSCIOUSNESS AND EXPOSURE CAPACITY OF THE STUDENTS. THE MINIMUM VOTE TO PASS THE EXAM IS 18/30. THE “LODE" WILL BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE REACHED THE MAXIMUM VOTE OF 30/30 AND SHOW TO POSSESS THE ABILITY TO APPLY WITH AUTONOMY THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE SKILLS ACQUIRED DURING THE LECTURES.
