Course description and aims
This course gives an overview of energy band theory that is necessary to understand organic electronics and organic conductors. Magnetism and electron correlation, that are phenomena beyond the energy band theory, are introduced. Organic conductors and organic electronics are surveyed.
This course aims at understanding properties of organic conductors using the energy band and the Fermi surface, explaining phenomena beyond the energy band theory, and surveying fundamentals of organic electronics and organic conductors.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Use the energy band theory and the Fermi surface to understand transport phenomena in organic solids.
(2) Understand phenomena beyond the energy band theory such as magnetism and electron correlation.
(3) Grasp history and fundamental concepts of organic conductors and organic electronics.
