Solid state lectures

Lecture notes and teaching material used for the Delft University of Technology course Solid State Physics (Vaste Stof Fysica, TN2844).

The compiled materials are available at http://solidstate.quantumtinkerer.tudelft.nl

How to compile

To compile it is advised to use a separate environment. We use miniconda for environment management, which can be found at https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html

First create a new conda environment named lectures with Python 3.6 and activate it. You can also use another environment manager of your choice.

conda create -n lectures python=3.6
conda activate lectures

Clone this repository and enter the directory.

git clone https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/solidstate/lectures.git
cd lectures

Install the required packages from requirements.txt.

pip install -r requirements.txt

And finally run execute.py to prepare the source files for mkdocs.

python execute.py

Now that all the files are where they should be, you can either run a development server or build the files for deployment using mkdocs. The commands to achieve this are:

mkdocs serve  # Run a development server
mkdocs build  # Build for deployment
