● 課程說明(Course Description)
This course provides basic principles and fundamental knowledges of solid state physics.
Course instructor will use notes, readings, presentations and in-class discussions to guide
students through several solid-state topics. In this course, students will learn how to analyze
thermal, optical and electrical properties of solid-state devices. Moreover, cutting-edge
research breakthroughs in related fields would be included in this course. This way, students
can get better ideas of fundamental physics, solid-state devices and their impacts.
