Guest access

Credits: 5

Schedule: 25.02.2019 - 27.05.2019

Contact information for the course (applies in this implementation): 

Teachers:

Period IV Hannu-Pekka Komsa (@aalto.fi)

Period V Martti Puska (@aalto.fi)

Teaching Period (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

IV-V Spring (2018-2019, 2019-2020)

Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

The student obtains on different traditional fields of materials physics the basic knowledge  about materials' ionic and electronic properties, materials-related phenomena, and models used to describe them. Thereafter, she or he can apply this knowledge to follow broadly the modern materials research and become a researcher on a particular materials physics' field based on experimental or theoretical (computational) methods.

 

Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Selected topics in materials physics: Electron dynamics in periodic solids, physics of semiconductors, lattice defects, dielectric properties of solids, magnetism. The last two topics include also interaction of materials with electromagnetic fields.

Assessment Methods and Criteria (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Lectures with pre-assignments, exercise sessions with problem solutions to be handed back. Grading is based on two midterm exams as well as on returned pre-assignments and exercise problem solutions. Alternatively, grading is based solely on one final exam.

Workload (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Contact teaching includes lectures and exercises totally 48 h.
Independent work: 76 h

Study Material (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

S. Elliott: The Physics and Chemistry of Solids

Substitutes for Courses (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

This course replaces the course Tfy-3.4311 Materials Physics.
