Course description and aims
We will discuss light and matter related topics on the basis of dielectric physics approach that allows one to evaluate and utilize these phenomena in materials and devices. The light and matter, and their links will be discussed followed by understandings of electromagnetism, quantum physics, fundamentals on light and matters. We will see how light, both as a classical electromagnetic wave and as a quantum, bridges world of electronics and that of light. Example on evaluating method, applications in electronic devices, and background theories will be introduced. Please get ideas on light and matter related topics and new research subject on the basis of dielectric physics approach.
This lecture is mainly planned for students in Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Of course, anybody who are going to learn Fundamentals of Light and Matter are welcome. For the students who completed Fundamentals of Light and Matter I, this lecture is highly recommended. The classes will provide follow-up contents and give further advanced concepts related to light and matter.

Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Introduction, light and matters in electrical and electronic engineering | You can discuss light and electrical materials on the basis of dielectric physics approach. |
| Class 2 | Optically evaluating carrier behavior in materials and devices | You will understand evaluating concept of, 2-1) Time-of-flight (TOF), 2-2) Transient electroluminescence, 2-3) charge modulation spectroscopy, etc. For further study, try Section 2, question 2, of the text [2] (in Japanese). |
| Class 3 | Nonlinear optical evaluation of charge displacement and dipolar alignment | You will understand optical second-harmonic generation measurement as a method to evaluate 3-1) dipolar alignment, 3-2) charge displacement. For further study, read Chapter 1 of the text [1], and explain the way of optical method to individually evaluate charge displacement and dipole rotation, assuming that it is difficult by means of electrical method. Use key ward “wavelength dependence” in the explanation. |
| Class 4 | Interfaces in electrical materials and devices and light phenomena | You may understand interfacial phenomena in two aspects. 4-1) Charge accumulation at the interface, i.e., Maxwell-Wagner effect, and related optical phenomena. 4-2) Interfacial orientational ordering of molecules and related optical phenomena. For further understanding of the topics, on 4-1, try Chapter 5, question 1 of the text [1]; on 4-2), read, for example, reference book [1], find the mathematical expression for anchoring energy and easy axis, and explain them. |
| Class 5 | Light action as electrical power source | You will discuss electrical power generation stimulated by light. (5-1) Power generation by photocarrier separation. (5-2) Power generation by dipolar rotation. For advanced learners, check reference papers [2], derive models given there, and explain idea in these models. |
| Class 6 | Diagnostics of electrical materials and optical phenomena | You can catch concept of diagnostic method and pre-electrical breakdown phenomena in electrical and electronic materials, with examples of light-related phenomena. For advanced learners, study the method of filtering described in the text [2], then, try Chapter 1, question 3 of the text. |
| Class 7 | Summary | Please summarize light and matter related topics on the basis of dielectric physics approach. |
