| Course Description: | This course develops the background in basic physics required to understand the behavior of electrons in atoms, molecules and solids. Examples from the free and nearly-free electron theory of solids will be used to illustrate the application of these techniques. The application of quantum physics to many state-of-the-art materials analysis techniques will also be demonstrated throughout the course. | |
| Course Outline: | 14 weeks, lectures
(3 times a week), recitation (once a week)
