MDI 311LEC - Electronic, Optical, and Magnetic Properties of Materials

This course will provide a micro-scale, atomistic and quantum mechanical description of the electronic, optical and magnetic properties of materials. The course study will involve metals, alloys, and semiconductors, as well as non-traditional electronic and optical materials such as polymers and ceramics. Special emphasis is given to emerging technology applications of electronic and opto-electronic materials, especially through use of databases. This course will help students to develop both a quantitative and a qualitative understanding of the properties of functional materials.
