Computer Modelling in Physics (pdf 3.65 Mb)  One-term lecture course (about twenty lectures) given at the Kiev University. The aim is to explain in what a way computer can be used for solution of physical problems. Special attention is devoted to Molecular Dynamics, Monte Carlo and Stochastic Equations methods. However, the principal aim of the course is to answer two more questions: when and why we should use computer modelling.

 

Theoretical aspects of Solid State Physics (pdf 0.64 Mb)  This "course of choice" has been given at the Kiev University too. Because the solid state physics widely uses canonical quantization (which was unknown for students), I had to start with some topics from quantum mechanics. To shorter the way to the main subject, I made an experiment - chose the axiomatic approach to quantum mechanics. Surprisingly, the experiment occurs rather successful - the students showed a good understanding of the subject at exams. Later on, I essentially extended the number of questions included in the book, in particular, added a detailed consideration of phonons (essentially following a thin but excellent book of A.M.Kosevich, where the technique originally developed by I.M.Lifshitz, is described).

 

Surface Science (pdf 67 Kb - content only)  The main lecture course given at the Radiophysical Department of Kiev University. Unfortunately, I still cannot find time to finish it...

 

Surface Diffusion (pdf 0.24 Mb)  Unfinished work with some notes on classical diffusion.
