Prerequisites: PHY 2102, CEM 1620. This course examines the formation and structure of crystalline, amorphous and polymeric materials. Topics include thermodynamics of formation and structure of materials, bonding, formation of defects, diffusion, nucleation and growth. (Cross listed with CEM 3350)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: 20 hours in physics. A discussion of research in physics, including experimental design, data analysis, literature review methods, publications of physics research, and research presentations. Students will create a proposal for research to be executed in PHY 4700.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: 16 hours of physics or consent of instructor. Designed to acquaint students with the laboratory techniques of experimental physics. Experiments from optics, electricity and magnetism, mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics are performed. ($65.00 course fee)
-
1.00 Credits
The Physics Senior Capstone is designed to prepare students for employment or post-graduate education. Central to this course is the integration of physics concepts and application to practical, real-world issues. Students will select a topic to be approved by the instructor, prepare an abstract, conduct a search of the relevant literature, and present their findings both in oral and written form. This course will also be used in program assessment.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 3120, PHY 3130, MTH 2240. This course examines the absorption, transmission, reflection, and generation of light in solids. Both linear and nonlinear behaviors are included. The fundamentals of lasers, optical switching and harmonic generation are emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 3240, MTH 2240. This course examines the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics including the wave properties of particles, superposition, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, differential operators, the Schrodinger equation, eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, and approximation methods. Applications are made to the harmonic oscillator and the hydrogen atom.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. Elective course for all physics majors, medical imaging majors and science and engineering majors. This course is designed to introduce the use of instrumentation for research. Students will be expected to learn instrument fundementals of optical spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Students will design experiments using instruments in making measurements. Topics will include physical principles, the construction and the limitations of instrumentation. The course will consist of 2 hours of lecture and 1 hour of lab. ($100.00 course fee)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 3110, MTH 2240. This course explores the physics of many particle systems. Advanced topics in mechanics such as Hamilton's Principle and Lagrange's equation are included.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. An independent library or laboratory problem decided upon in consultation with the instructor. A formal report of the work is required in addition to an oral presentation of the results. This course can be taken twice for credit, not to exceed five hours total with the third digit of the course number indicating the credit. ($60.00 course fee)
