Physics for Solid-State Applications
6.730 · Electrical Engineering and Computer Science · Graduate · Spring 2003
Prof. Rajeev Ram, Prof. Terry Orlando
This course examines classical and quantum models of electrons and lattice vibrations in solids, emphasizing physical models for elastic properties, electronic transport, and heat capacity. Topics covered include: crystal lattices, electronic energy band structures, phonon dispersion relatons, effective mass theorem, semiclassical equations of motion, and impurity states in semiconductors, band structure and transport properties of selected semiconductors, and connection of quantum theory of so…
