part ¢¡an overview
¡¡1 basic principles summarized
¡¡1.1 the atomic idea: from elementaryparticles to solids
¡¡1.2 permanent (i.e., equilibrium) structures of matter correspond to the minimum of their (free) energy
¡¡1.3 condensed matter tends to collapse under the influence of coulomb potential energy
¡¡1.4 quantum kinetic energy counterbalances coulomb potential energy leading to stable equilibrium structures
¡¡¡¡1.4.1 heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the minimum kinetic energy
¡¡¡¡1.4.2 pauli's exclusion principle and the enhancement of the minimum kinetic energy
