Cursusdoelen
  • The student aquires knowledge of the basic crystal lattices, the concept of the reciprocal lattice and is able to describe them in terms of unit vectors and unit cells
  • The student knows the basic properties of lattice vibrations in solids and is able to perform simple calculations of the phonon dispersion relation, the phonon density of states and the thermal properties of phonons
  • The student is able to understand the basic properties of electrons in solids and can perform simple calculations of the electronic bandstructure, the electronic density of states and the electronic and thermal conduction of electrons
  • The student is acquainted with the quantum mechanical description of solids and their classification in metals, insulators and semiconductors
Inhoud
This course is the introductory course to solid state physics in the Bachelor. It contains all the necessary concepts for the elective and more advanced Bachelor courses in solid state physics Fysica van Oppervlakken (NWI-NB067C) and Nano-elektronica (NWI-NB052B). This course is part of the series Structure of Matter (SdM), in which, starting from quantum mechanics, the basic properties of matter are treated.

Description:

• crystal structure, crystal lattices, (primitive) unit vectors and unit cell
• chemical bonding
• concept of the reciprocal lattice, diffraction (Bragg and von Laue), Brillouin zones, structure and form factor
• lattice vibrations - phonons, mono- and diatomic unit cells, thermal properties of solids
• electronic properties of solids, free electron Fermi gas, concept of the density of states
• the concept of band structure (Bloch functions, free electron gas, quasi-free electron approximation and tight-binding approximation), band structure for metals, semi-metals, semiconductors and insulators
• basics of semiconductors (intrinsic semiconductors and the concept of doping)
