In this course, the behavior of atoms and shared electrons in solids will be described by classical physics and quantum mechanics. The discussion of solid with crystalline structure will be one of the emphases. Some properties of crystal such as defects, disorder and thermal vibration will be studied. Then, band theory and motion of electron will be investigated.
Intended Learning Outcomes
CILO-1: Describe concepts and principles in condensed matter physics.
CILO-2: Summarize and explain the crystalline structure of solids.
CILO-3: Describe the crystal properties such as defects and disorder.
