Course description and aims
In a solid composed of Avogadro's number of atoms, an infinite number of energy levels of individual atoms form a band. In this lecture, students can understand the electronic structures of metals, insulators, and transition-metal oxides, starting from atoms and molecules, which is familiar to students in chemistry field.
Student learning outcomes
Students can understand the formation of bands in solids and explain how the electronic properties of metals and insulators are reflected in the band structures. In addition, students can explain band structures of transition-metal oxides from the viewpoint of electronic correlation, which cannot be understood based on the simple band theory.
Keywords
Solid, Electronic structures, Metal, Insulator, Electron correlation, Transition-metal oxides
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
The class will be conducted in the form of a combination of slides distributed in advance and written materials on the board. The lectures will be given on the assumption that the students have thoroughly prepared for the lectures. A 15-minute quiz will be given at the end of each lecture.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Solids and bands | Starting from atoms and molecules, students can explain the basic concept of bands in solids. |
| Class 2 | Types and principles of spectroscopic methods | Students can explain the principles of various spectroscopic methods that measure the electronic structures of solids. |
| Class 3 | Electronic structures of insulators | Students can explain the electronic structures of typical insulating materials. |
| Class 4 | Electronic structures of metals | Students can explain the electronic structures of typical metallic materials. |
| Class 5 | Electronic correlations and Hubbard model | Students can explain electron localization due to electron correlation based on the Hubbard model. |
| Class 6 | Electronic structures of transition-metal oxides | Students can explain the electronic structures of transition-metal oxides with strong electronic correlations. |
| Class 7 | Exercises and explanations | Students can increase their understanding of lecture contents through exercises and self-evaluate their level of achievement. |
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.
