Course description and aims

Solid state physics for understanding the basis of organic optical and electrical materials.
1) Learn important concepts for electronic devices such as electronic states and properties at interfaces.
2) Learn the origin of the dielectric and optical properties of condensed matters.
3) Learn the semi-classical theory of light absorption and emission by molecules.

Student learning outcomes

Following Mat. P301, this course deals with magnetic, dielectric and optical properties of conventional and organic semiconductors. Important concepts for device applications, such as organic transistors, solar cells, and light emitting devices.

Keywords

Interface, Dielectrics, Optical Properties
