Course description and aims
Solid state science offers a basis for materials and electronic devices. A comprehensive understanding of the fundamental physics underlying is crucially important to pursue a research study of materials and electronic devices. This course begins with a brief review of band theory in solids, and covers other fundamental physical phenomena including semiconductors, Fermi surfaces and metals, superconductivity, paramagnetism, ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, dielectrics and ferroelectrics, and surface and interface physics, aiming at understanding the essences of the condensed matter science.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to understand the essences of several important phenomena in condensed matter science, including semiconductors, Fermi surfaces and metals, superconductivity, paramagnetism, ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, dielectrics and ferroelectrics, and surface and interface physics.
