| Aim: The aim of the course is to give the students knowledge about the geometrical and electronical structures of solids and to give an understanding of different properties and phenomena that are related to the geometrical and electronical structure. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Participation in NFYB10. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Supplementary courses: NFYC57 Physical Projects and NFYD64 Solid State Physics and Surface Physics |
|||
| Organisation: The content of the course is presented in the form of lectures at which also a selection of problems are presented. |
|||
| Course contents: Geometrical structure of crystals. Direct and reciprocal lattices. Introduction to Fourier analysis. Theoretical and experimental treatment of structure determination by diffraction. Crystal binding. Lattice vibrations. Dynamical properties derived from lattice vibrations: heat capacity, heat conductivity. Electronical structure of solids: Metals, semiconductors and insulators. Theoretical models of the electronic structure of solids: the free-electron model, the Bloch-band model. |
