Course description
The aim of this course is to discuss various properties of materials based on the behavior of electrons. Electrical engineers need to learn not only classical mechanics such as electromagnetism, but quantum mechanics to understand the state-of-the-art technology in the rapidly expanding technology areas. In this lecture, the electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of materials supporting the present electrical engineering are explained on the basis of the behavior of electrons in various materials.
Purpose of class
Various functions of things surrounding us have been realized by combining the properties of materials, such as metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics. The aim of this course is to provide the quantum physical point of view to understand the properties of these materials used in electric and electronic apparatus on atomistic scales. By gaining this knowledge, one can understand mechanisms by which various electrical and electronic apparatuses work in rapidly expanding area.
Goals and objectives
  1. Demonstrate the ability to explain the properties of materials from the viewpoint of quantum physics based on wave-particle duality.
  2. Demonstrate the ability to basic calculations on the structures and electrical properties of conductors, semiconductors, and insulators.
  3. Demonstrate the ability to explain mechanisms by which various functions are realized in applications.
