Course description and aims

This course focuses on fundamental laws of electromagnetisms for electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic phenomena in materials. The topics of this course includes electrostatic induction and screening effects in conductors, classical transport theory, Hall effect, thermoelectric effect, fundamental laws for dielectric materials, paraelectric and ferroelectric materials, fundamental laws for magnetic materials, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials, fundamental properties of diamagnetic materials, characteristics of superconductors, Maxwell equations and electromagnetic waves in materials, and so on. Some exercises will be provided for each section.
Physics provides essential knowledge on natural behavior around us as well as advanced technologies. Electromagnetism in materials, which is covered in this course, allows us to understand electric, magnetic, and optical characteristics in various physical phenomena in detail. Moreover, fundamental laws in electric, magnetic, and optical properties are essential in advanced studies as well as advanced researches.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Understand transport and thermoelectric characteristics of conductors
- Understand fundamental laws and basic characteristics of dielectric and magnetic materials
- Understand electromagnetic wave in materials in terms of Maxwell equations.

Keywords
