PHYS 441M. Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Properties of Materials I. 4 Credits.
In the first part of this two-course sequence, the student will study the significant role played by geometry and chemical composition in determining general material properties and explore how this structure conspires with quantum physics to govern the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of condensed matter, including the emergence of semiconducting behavior and superconductivity. Sequence with PHYS 442M. Multilisted with MSTC 441M.
Requisites: Prereq: MATH 256, MATH 281, PHYS 253; one from CH 413, CH 431, PHYS 351.
Equivalent to: MSTC 441M
