2. Module objectives/intended learning outcomes
This course equips students with basic and advanced knowledge of energy band theory of solid. The course presents methods for calculating the electronic structure of materials and discusses the physical properties of materials through energy band structure. Some typical energy band structures of semiconductor materials such as Si, GaAs, ... are discussed in detail in this module. In addition, students can apply the tight binding model to calculate the electronic structure of some simple semiconductor materials.
