PHYS 541M. 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 542M. Multilisted with MSTC 541M.
