Course Description |
This is a seminar and discussion class, which will cover a wide range of topics concerning present-day Solid State Physics. Students will read about specific topics (chosen by themselves, with the guidance of the Professor), before giving presentations in the class.
The participants are presenting to all the others. The content will include a clear introduction and applications which may arise. |
Course Objective |
Students may choose ANY topic in modern Solid State Physics (apart from one's current research field)
The followings are some examples,
Quantum science and technology:
quantum transport
quantum computer
quantum communication
quantum materials
spin entanglement
quantum bit / qubit
(updated 2023)
Graphene: Physics, Synthesis, and Applications
Transition metal dichalcogenides (e.g. MoS2) and other 2-D semiconductors
Superconductivity (including high-Tc superconductors)
Dielectricity and ferroelectricity
Multiferroic materials
Spintronics and spin dependant transport
Topological Insulators and Quantum Spin Hall systems
The Rashba and Dresselhaus effects
The Hanle effect and spin-FETs
Ferromagnetism and anti-ferromagnetism
Half-metallic materials
The Tunneling magneto-resistance (TMR) effect and magnetic tunneling junctions
Organic spintronics
Organic photovoltaics
Molecular electronics
The Kondo effect and the quantum blockade
Plasmons, polarons and polaritons
Optical processes and excitons
Advanced nano-scale characterization techniques
Scanning probe microscopy (SEM, STM, AFM, SPEM,...)
etc... |
Course Requirement |
SCIENTIFIC ETHICS.
Citations must be clear in all kinds of presentations. |
Student Workload (expected study time outside of class per week) |
|
Office Hours |
Note: Details would vary depending on the number of the participants,
and will be settled in the first 2 weeks.
Rescheduling is possible during the semester, and will be updated here on NTU COOL.
