MSE 6167

Electrical, Magnetic and Optical Properties of Materials

Course Description

Prerequisites

Some background in solid state materials and elementary quantum principles

Explore the fundamental physical laws governing electrons in solids, and show how that knowledge can be applied to understanding electronic, optical and magnetic properties. Students will gain an understanding of how these properties vary between different types of materials, and thus why specific materials are optimal for important technological applications. Cross-listed as ECE 6167. Prerequisite: Some background in solid state materials and elementary quantum principles.
