-
3.00 Credits
Crystal structure, conduction theory, binding and energy levels and other properties of conductors, semiconductors, dielectrics, and magnetics.
-
1.00 Credits
The course will be devoted to the study of waves and its applications in different fields of physics. The principal objective is to develop an understanding of basic wave concepts and of their relations with one another. Readings and discussions on topics such as free and forced oscillations, superposition principle, traveling and standing waves, modulations, pulses, wave packets, bandwidth, coherence time and polarization, will serve to reach the proposed goal. Applications of different physical systems as water waves, sound waves, light waves, transmission lines, quantum waves, etc. will be illustrated through interesting examples.
-
1.00 Credits
Numerical and computational techniques for solving a wide variety of problems in physics and engineering. Various methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations describing mechanical oscillators (both periodic and chaotic), electrical and magnetic fields, and quantum mechanical wave functions will be explored. Students will be introduced to MATLAB, and some projects will be run in EXCEL. Familiarity with the physical systems involved is not a prerequisite. If time permits, Monte-Carlo methods will also be explored.
-
1.00 Credits
Readings and discussion on the measurement process in quantum mechanics. Entangled states, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, Bell's inequality, quantum encryption and quantum computation. Experimental techniques. Philosophical issues raised by quantum theory.
-
1.00 Credits
Students explore advanced experimental techniques progressing through introductory stages to applications, devoting two to four weeks to each chosen topic. Student interest accommodated in topics (and respective applications) such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (Magnetic Resonance Imaging-MRI), X-Ray Techniques (crystallography/elemental analysis/medical imaging), Hall effect and related techniques (semiconductor characterization/Giant Magneto Resistive computer disc readers, etc.), and Magnetization measurements (data storage/electrical and mechanical power conversion/geological surveying/bird and insect navigation, etc.).
