MSEN 710 Advanced Solid State Physics
The purpose of this course is to provide a deep and operational understanding of classical and quantum mechanical models of electrons and lattice vibrations in solids aimed at the development of numerical models. The course will emphasize physical models for elastic properties, electronic transport, and heat capacity. Crystal lattices, electronic energy band structures, phonon dispersion relations, effective mass theorem, semiclassical equations of motion, electron scattering and semiconductor optical properties will be developed.
