MSE335 Applied Solid State Physics (3)Lecture, 3 credits, 3 hours per week. Prerequisites: MA127, PHY106. “Applied Solid State Physics” is an important major foundational course for materials science, electronic information science, condensed matter physics and other materials related specialties. This course requires multi-disciplinary knowledge of crystallography, thermodynamics of materials, and quantum mechanics. It provides basic theoretical and experimental knowledge of physical properties in solids, including electronic, phononic, magnetic, and optical properties. The main content of this course includes cohesion in solids, crystal structure, lattice dynamics, electronic structure, electrical transport properties, magnetic properties, semiconductor physics, dielectrics and ferroelectrics. In addition, this course also introduces experimental method and data analysis for physical properties. By taking this course, undergraduates will understand the fundamental physical concept and phenomenon in solids, and be familiar with the relationship between crystal structure, electronic structure and physical properties. This course serves as a basis for the following frontier research areas, such as information functional materials and devices, high-performance energy materials and devices, quantum materials and devices, and other related fields.
