Covers the basics of optical tweezers and their applications in microscopy, manipulation, and spectroscopy, as well as the alignment of molecules using laser pulses.
Explores phonon frequencies, heat capacity, thermal properties, vibrations in solids, free electron gas, Fermi function, and density functional theory.
Explores the link between linear algebra and wave mechanics, focusing on operators, self-adjoint nature, Brillouin Zone, and a probabilistic approach to diffusion.
