3.00 Credits
Topics in this advanced continuation of PHYS 3352 include the application of quantum mechanics and statistical physics to laser, molecular, and solid state devices; Nuclear structure (models and forces) and subnuclear particles will also be discussed. Prerequisite: PHYS 3352. (3-0) Y
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a basic but detailed picture of important concepts in solid state physics. Material covered includes crystal structure, x-ray crystallography, reciprocal space, lattice vibrations, thermal properties of solids, free electron gas, Bloch functions, metals, insulators and semiconductors. The course concludes with a description of basic semiconductor devices. Prerequisites: PHYS 3352 and PHYS 3416. (3-0) Y
-
3.00 Credits
Thermodynamics and physical properties of matter, vacuum technology, gas phase kinetics, spectroscopy, basic operations in electronics, literature skills, and use of computers. Prerequisites: PHYS 3352 and 3416. (0-6) Y
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the structure and dynamics of the atmospheres of planets, including ionospheres and magnetospheres, as influenced by the sun's radiation and the solar wind. Topics include aurora and airglow, photochemistry and atmospheric electricity. Prerequisite: PHYS 2322, or PHYS 2326, or equivalent. (3-0) T

3.00 Credits
Plasmas are the 4th state of matter, in which some or all of the neutral particles in a gas are ionized. A working knowledge of plasma physics is important in nuclear physics, semiconductor processing, space science, astronomy, and many other areas. This course will examine the fundamental treatment of plasmas as embodied in the fluid equations, magneto-hydrodynamics, and simple kinetic theory. Specific topics include plasma waves and instabilities, diffusion, guiding center motion and drifts, currents in plasmas, and particle collisions. Prerequisite: PHYS 3311. Prerequisite or corequisite: PHYS 3416. (3-0) R

3.00 Credits
Individual instruction course designed to develop skills for research and clear, precise and accurate scientific writing. Research may be either scientific experimentation or critical analysis of scientific literature. Topics will vary from section to section depending upon the interests of the student, but will be selected from a specific area of physics. Satisfies the Advanced writing requirement. (3-0) S
