- Course objectives
- The subject which is a follow-up of theoretical courses of Quantum mechanics and Thermodynamics and statistical physics uses their approach for the description of the many particles systems namely solid state. Lecture starts with theoretical topics and moves towards contemporary technical applications. A graduate understand and is able to explain a general topics in a solid state structure, mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic and optical properties and their theoretical description. Moreover, a graduate is well-oriented in the elements of selected practical applications, namely in semiconductor technology.
- Syllabus
