PHYS 340 - Physics of Materials

FC NSMA QFR

4 credits
This course will explore the physical properties of several classes of materials including metals, semiconductors, ceramics, polymers, and composites. The properties will be discussed in relationship to theories of atomic, electronic, and/or band structure. Emphasis is placed on those features (optical, magnetic, electrical, and mechanical) important for technological applications.

Prerequisites: PHYS 212.
