| NFYD64 | Solid State Physics and Surface Physics, 5 ECTS-points /FASTA TILLSTÅNDETS FYSIK OCH YTFYSIK/ Advancement level: D | |
| Aim: The aim of the course is to give the students knowledge about electronical, optical and magnetical phenomena in solids. The course should also provide knowledge about the importance of the outermost atomic layers for these phenomena as well as about special surface phenomena.Prerequisites: Participation in NFYC56 Solid State Physics and NFYC58 Quantum Mechanics and Molecular Physics.Course organization: The content of the course is presented in the form of lectures.Course content: Optical properties, superconductivity, dielectrics and ferroelectrics, and magnetic properties. Crystal defects. Atomic and electronic structure of surfaces and interfaces. Adsorption, desorption, surface diffusion, work function. Different surface science techniques are treated. Course literature: C. Kittel: Introduction to Solid State Physics, 7th edition, J. Wiley and Sons 1996. M. Prutton: Introduction to Surface Physics, Oxford University Press 1998. | ||
