Theory of Solid State 1

Course guarantor:

Jaroslav Hamrle, Hanuš Seiner

Lecturer:

Jaroslav Hamrle, Hanuš Seiner

Tutor:

Jaroslav Hamrle, Hanuš Seiner

Supervisor:

Department of Solid State Engineering

Synopsis:

The content of the lesson are basic physical properties of crystalline solid state materials. Students will be introduced to band structure of solids and basic materials classification, such as metals, semiconductors and dielectrics. The lesson further focuses on magnetic properties, superconductivity and surface properties, a topic mostly expected to be important in construction of quantum computers.
