ECGR 8132 - Solid State Materials
The materials covered can be roughly divided into two parts: (I) the basic knowledge of solid state physics: Crystal Structure, Wave Diffraction and the Reciprocal Lattice, Crystal Binding and Elastic Constants, Phonons, Free Electron Fermi Gas, Energy Bands, Semiconductor Crystals, Fermi Surfaces and Metals (approximately the materials of Chapters 1-9 of Kittel’s book); (II) Selected application topics: such as Plasmons, Polaritons, and Polarons, Optical Processes and Exciton, Dielectrics and Ferroelectrics, Surface and Interface Physics, Nanostructures (approximately the materials of Chapters 14-18 of Kittel’s book). The materials may be supplemented with and replaced by those from other sources. Credit will not be given for ECGR 8132 where credit has been given for ECGR 6132.
