Course Policies
Review the course evaluation criteria, grading schemes, examination rules, and academic honesty policies for Autumn 2026.
Lecture 1: Foundations
Dive into the basic physics of semiconductor materials, exploring intrinsic vs. extrinsic properties, doping, and interactive lattice models.
Lecture 2: Quantum Mechanics
Explore wave-particle duality, Schrödinger's wave equation, particle confinement in potential wells, quantum tunnelling, and the one-electron atom.
Lecture 3: Theory of Solids
Discover the origins of energy bands in crystal lattices, explore the Kronig-Penney model, Bloch's theorem, and construct E-k diagrams.
