Lecture Notes

This section contains documents created from scanned original files and other documents that could not be made accessible to screen reader software. A "#" symbol is used to denote such documents.

Each class lecture includes structure and bonding content and thermodynamics content.

Instructor for Structure and Bonding: Prof. Nicola Marzari
Instructor for Thermodynamics: Prof. Darrell Irvine

For most lectures, slides are presented below in two versions: the original slides, and annotated slides with in-class markup by the instructors.
