Outline of lecture

Electronic and magnetic properties of solids are lectured based on quantum mechanics and solid state physics.
Beginning with fundamentals of quantum mechanics, perturbation theories are given as some approximation methods. These will be applied to electromagnetic radiation and energy band theory. Fundamentals of transportation, scattering and diffraction of waves and particles in solids are mentioned. Fundamental theories of magnetic properties, spin dependent phenomenon and superconductivity will be lectured. Exercises are carried out during the classes to help understanding.

Purpose of lecture

Electronic and magnetic properties of solids are lectured based on quantum mechanics and solid state physics.
Beginning with fundamentals of quantum mechanics, perturbation theories are given as some approximation methods. These will be applied to electromagnetic radiation and energy band theory. Fundamentals of transportation, scattering and diffraction of waves and particles in solids are mentioned. Fundamental theories of magnetic properties, spin dependent phenomenon and superconductivity will be lectured for the better understanding of the materials which are used in the field of current and future electronics and electrical engineering.
