STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF ADVANCED ELECTRONIC MATERIALS

MS&E 756
Course Description

Prepares graduate students for research in electronic materials and related areas by examining (1) how does the physical structure of a material affect its electronic structure and properties: and (2) state-of-the-art advance electronic materials. Topics include: molecular and organic semiconductors; carbon nanomaterials (nanotubes, nanoribbons and graphene); advances in conventional bulk zinc-blende and wurtzite semiconductors; polycrystalline, amorphous, and disordered materials; state-of-the-art high- low-k dielectrics; and up-and-coming and next-generation materials. Knowledge of solid state physics [such asPHYSICS 551orM S & E 456] required.
