PHY 420 Introduction to Condensed Matter Physics

Semester: Fall
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisite: PHY 123, MTH 164, PHY 238 (or instructor permission), PHY 227 (or instructor permission)

An emphasis on the wide variety of phenomena that form the basis for modern solid state devices. Topics include crystals, lattice vibrations, quantum mechanics of electrons in solids, energy band structure, semiconductors, superconductors, dielectrics, and magnets (same as MSC 420, ECE220, ECE420, PHY251).
