Description: This course introduces fundamental concepts in solid state physics, including crystal structure and symmetry, phonons, electrons and holes, energy band structure, light-matter interactions. The lectures will discuss the applications of these fundamentals in heat transfer, electron scattering and optical properties in solids, as well as in optoelectronic devices. The course also introduces emerging materials, such as low-dimensional materials, perovskites, topological materials. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Knowledge of quantum mechanics and solid state physics
