Lecture slides on metals and insulators

This week we will start to look at semi-classical transport theory within the Bloch model, following chapter 12 in Ashcroft and Mermin. First we will review the key differences in the band structures and band fillings between metals and insulators. Here are the relevant lecture slides.
Reading chapter 12 would be excellent preparation.
