3.00 Credits
Mathematical methods in physics. Linear algebra, complex variable theory, eigenfunction expansions and orthogonal functions, the special functions of mathematical physics are studied.
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of PHY 511. Partial differential equations, integral equations, Green’s functions, generalized functions, calculus of variations, and group theory are studied.
-
3.00 Credits
Radiative processes and the theory of scattering. Other topics included are variational principles, symmetry and invariance principles, and second quantization. Relativistic quantum mechanics and field theory are introduced.
-
3.00 Credits
Further training for students in theoretical physics on a graduate level. Explores in depth topics discussed in PHY 531 and PHY 631.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic concepts of solid state physics, including crystal structures, lattice vibrations and ionic crystals. Also examined are dielectric and optical properties of insulators, ferroelectrics, free electron theory of metals, energy bands, and semiconductors.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory of conductivity and related effects. Rectification and transistors, imperfection in crystals, plastic deformation color centers, optical properties of solids, and theory of magnetism are also studied.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 213 or equivalent Thermodynamics and its statistical interpretation. Canonical, micro-canonical, and grand canonical ensembles. Boltzmann, Fermi, and Bose distributions, and their applications to equilibrium and transport phenomena. Phase equilibrium is also studied.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 550 or permission of instructor Theories of ocean circulation, including wind-driven and thermohaline components, and their numerical modeling. The concepts of geostrophy, Sverdrup-to-Strommel dynamics, stratification, rotation, and diffusion processes are discussed for the general circulation features in all three world oceans. Primitive equation-based numerical modeling experiments are discussed for the global-scale, basin-scale, regional-scale, and feature-based models.
-
3.00 Credits
Structure and properties of nuclei. Also studied are nuclear forces and potentials, nuclear shell model and collective model, strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions, nuclear reactions and decays.
