Class Details

Condensed matter physics is an important area of current research and serves as the basis for modern electronic technology. We plan to explore the physics of metals, insulators, and semiconductors, with particular attention to structure, thermal properties, energy bands, and electronic properties. After developing the appropriate background, we will examine some simple semiconductor devices.
