Course description and aims
The aim of this course is to understand fundamentals of solid state physics including crystal structures, electronic structures, lattice vibration, and electric conductivity.
Student learning outcomes
This is an introductory solid properties course where students will gain an understanding of the physical phenomena of soft materials, where electrons, spin, and photons play an active role, in order to acquire the fundamentals for applying to devices. After students gain an understanding of crystal theory, which forms the base of properties theory, they will learn how to deal with periodically arranged lattice spaces mathematically from a quantum physics perspective, advancing their understanding of material properties.
