Web-Referenz:
The lecture aims to explain the basic concepts and tools to describe the electronic structure of solid state materials. The contrast between one-particle approaches and (unsolvable) many-body models will be clarified. Hands-on exercises using computers will be presented to address topics such as the transition metal oxides (cuprates, ruthenates) and Kondo systems.
