This document provides an overview of Physics 4P70: Condensed Matter Physics I, taught by Christopher R. Wiebe at Brock University. It discusses key topics that will be covered, including crystal structure, experimental techniques used to study solids like scattering and resonance methods, and technological applications and discoveries that have emerged from condensed matter physics research, such as superconductivity. The goal is to develop an understanding of how the collective behavior of large numbers of particles gives rise to unexpected macroscopic properties in solids.
