Solid State Physics

Garant předmětu:

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Physics

Synopsis:

Atomic structure. Wave function and its interpretation. Schrodinger equation.

Chemical bonds (ionic, covalent, metallic, Van der Waals).

Aggregate states of matter (plasma, gas, liquid, solid state).

Structures of solids (crystalline, amorphous). Basic crystallography (symmetry, crystal lattice, reciprocal lattice, Miller indices).

Experimental determination of crystal structures (Bragg condition, diffractions-X-ray, neutron scattering, electron diffraction). Lattice defects (point, dislocations).

Types of materials (metals, ceramics, glass, polymers, composites, concrete) and their properties (mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical).

Requirements:

Prerequisities (physics, math) at the bachelor/magister levels.

Syllabus of lectures:

Lectures consists of two complementary parts: fundamentals of the solid state physics correlated with the concrete requirements of PhD students.

Syllabus of tutorials:

See above.
