Pre-requisites:

Students taking this course should have taken quantum mechanics (I) or introduction to solid state physics before.

Grading:

  1. Midterm Written Exam (40%)
  2. Presentation and report (60%)
  • Presentation (30 minutes)

Students should prepare power-point slides from the paper assigned in the beginning of this course, and present them in a way that is understandable to their classmates.

  • Report (at most two pages)

Students should write a report on the paper assigned in the beginning of this course. The content of the report should include: 1) synopsis of the paper; 2) what can be further studied from this paper; 3) afterthoughts and feedbacks about your presentation.
