Course description and aims

Ｉ　This lecture gives the knowledge of molecular structure and the energy state from the viewpoint of quantum physics.
II hydrogen molecule, diatomic molecules (1), diatomic molecules (2), polyatomic molecule， band structure, symmetry element, point group, group, representative, character, basis, character table etc.

Student learning outcomes

Semiconductor. Capacitor. Superconductivity. solar battery. Thermoelectric. Plasmonics. To understand these functional materials, the knowldge of electron behavior in material is required. The goal of this lecture is the instinctively understanding of the electron behavior, and representing the relationship between the crystal structure and electron using group theory.

Keywords

Shrodinger equation, molecular orbital, point group, character table

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Explain using slides, sometimes including handout or short test.
