|
Area of Education: Science Subject area: Physics |
||||
| Advancement level
(G1, G2, A): A
|
||||
| Aim: The course shall provide the student knowledge about the atomic and electronic structure of crystalline solids. Through this knowledge the student shall gain an understanding about the static and dynamic properties of crystalline solids. The course shall provide the student the ability of problem solving within these areas |
||||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TFFY17 Modern physics, TFFY25 Thermodynamics and statistical mecahnics and TFFY54 Quantum Mechanics desirable but not required. 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. |
||||
| Organisation: The course material is presented in the form of lectures, problem solving sessions and laborations. |
||||
| Course contents: The atomic structure of ordered solids. Theoretical and experimental background for structure determinations using diffraction. Lattice vibrations and from these derived dynamic properties, such as heat capacity and conduction. The electronic structure of ordered solids, including some theoretical models for describing the electron band structure of different types of solids; the free electron model, the nearly free electron model and the tight binding model. Electron states in semiconductors, doping. Fermi surfaces in metals. Defects. |

||||
| Examination: | ||||
| One written examination, including both problems to solve and descriptive theory questions(U,3,4,5) Two laboratory work assignments(U,G) |
