Course: Introduction to Solid State Physics

Here you will learn how to derive the 1d, 2d, and 3d density of states of a free electron gas from the k-volume and the dispersion relation.

Here you will learn how to derive the dispersion relation for a linear monoatomic chain using Hooke's law.

Here you will find the derivation of the acoustic and optical dispersion relation for a crystal with a diatomic basis.

Drude model establishes the linear relationship between the E-field and the current density, determines the electrical conductivity and mobility.

Here you will learn the basics of epitaxy (crystal growth), as well as different growth models and epitaxial techniques.

Here you will learn how the PVD process is used to coat materials.

Here you will learn how integrated circuits in semiconductor technology are manufactured step by step using lithography technique.
