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 organic semiconductors as well as important concepts for device applications, such as organic transistors, solar cells, and light emitting devices.

Keywords

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
