Introduction to Solid-State Physics (EE/MT/PEP503)


Course Instructor
Knut Stamnes

Description of simple physical models which account for electrical conductivity and thermal properties of solids. Cover basic crystal lattice structures, X-ray diffraction, and dispersion curves for phonons and electrons in reciprocal space. Explore energy bands, Fermi surfaces, metals, insulators, semiconductors, superconductivity, and ferromagnetism. Prerequisites: PEP242, PEP331.


I encourage all who seek formal education to take online courses from Stevens Institute of Technology. It is not for the inactive participant who seeks only to soak up the knowledge. The courses challenge you to step up and contribute effectively."
