Course
Content/Design/Approach: This course is
designed for juniors, seniors, and beginning graduate students
in physics and related science/engineering fields. This
course will treat subjects, developed mostly in 20th century,
in the fields of solid state/condensed matter physics at an
introductory level. These concepts will then be extended to
emerging materials and devices embracing quantum effects,
optical control, and nanoscale morphology. A goal will
be to polish skills required to extract information and learn
from seminars, colloquia, and journal articles.
