一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>
<br>This course is to introduce basic understanding of solid state physics to
<br>students. Solid state physics involves a combination of quantum mechanics 
<br>(QM) and statistical mechanics (SM), where the primary forces are
<br>electrodynamic. Therefore, knowledges in QM, SM and electrodynamics are
<br>essential for this course. The topics of this semester include: 
<br> - Crystal structure and binding 
<br> - Lattice vibrations
<br> - Electron energy bands 
<br> - me<x>tals and semiconductors
<br>
