Special Topics on Solid State Physics: Advances and Applications
Credits: 3
Class Hour: Tuesday, 16:30-19:30
Lecturer: Lin, Minn-Tsong(ªL±ÓÁo±Ð±Â)
Introduction:
This course will focus on the important and advanced topics in ¡§modern¡¨ Solid State Physics. Both aspects of fundamental and application will be discussed. It requires the background knowledge of Solid State Physics as well as modern physics, such as crystal structure, band structure, phonon, heat capacity, electric conductivity, Fermi energy, density of state etc.. Fundamentals of crucial materials, such as Superconductors, Semiconductors, Magnetism, etc., which were included in the course of ¡§Introduction to Solid State Physics¡¨ would be briefly highlighted at beginning of the course.
Purpose of the course:
The purpose of this course is to provide the students overview and research basis of the ¡§modern¡¨ Solid State States. In particular, for those, who are interested in doing research in the fields of condensed matter physics, applied physics, material science/physics as well as nanomaterial and nanoscience, this course would give an intensive discussion for the most updated development of these fields.
The major content of the course would include the following topics:
1-1 Conventional Superconductor
1-2 High Tc Superconductor
2-1 Ferromagnetism & Antiferromagnetism
2-2 Magnetism in Low Dimensions & Nanomagnetism
2-3 Advanced Magnetoresistive Materials: Giant Magnetoresistance, MagnetoTunnel Junction and Spin-Dependent Transport
8-1 Graphene: Physics, Synthesis, and Application
8-2 Multiferroic Materials
