The course covers relevant experimental and theoretical concepts in nanoscale science, from fundamental aspects like quantum tunneling and quantum size effects, to hot topics like quantum transport and nanoscale magnetism. ...
Lectures on the fundamental aspects of semiconductor physics and the main properties of the p-n junction that is at the heart of devices like LEDs & laser diodes. The last part deals with light-matter interaction phenomena in bulk semiconductors such as ab ...
Introduces the exceptional electromagnetic and optical properties of low-dimensional, Dirac and superconducting materials - the quantum-mechanical models that explain them, and experimental techniques to probe them. Surveys new applications in information ...
This course discusses materials physics associated with the mechanical and structural properties of solids, primarily focusing on the physics of dislocation defect dynamics and linking diffusion kinetics to the fundamental physics of phase transformations. ...
In this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their limits of validity. Next we discuss emerging opportunit ...
Ce cours de deux semestres donne une introduction à la Physique du solide, à la structure cristalline, aux vibrations du réseau, aux propriétés électroniques, de transport thermique et électrique ainsi qu'aux propriétés magnétiques. Il se situe au niveau d ...
