- Relate the concepts of solid state physics and electromagnetism with the applications of materials.
- Understand the operation of some devices based on semiconductor materials and the associated physical concepts.
- Application of the concepts of solid state physics to systems of reduced dimensions (Nanomaterials).
Put into perspective the basics concept of solid state physics for devices including semiconductors and nanomaterials (diode, photovoltaIc cells, sensors, electronic transport, ...)
The exact table of content is subject the change every year.
It typically includes the following parts:
- Introduction to nanomatérials. Scaling effect
- Electronic structure of nanostructures and quantum dots
-Electronic properties of nanoparticules (plasmon)
- 2D materials
- Semiconductors at équilibrium
- Electronic transport in semiconductors
- Generation and recombination in semiconductors
- The pn junction
11. Metal-semiconductor contacts and heterojunctions.
The assessment will be based on 2/3 of the course given by the students for the term and 1/3 of an oral exam organized during the exam session.
For the assessment of the course given by the student, the following will be taken into consideration:
- Mastery of the concepts of materials physics covered (accuracy and integration with the rest of the course).
-The ability to highlight the key steps in physical reasoning.
-The pedagogical quality of the presentation.
- Answers to questions from teachers and other students
For the oral exam, the student will have to answer a question on one of the parts of the course (nanomaterials, semiconductors, courses given by students or guest speakers). He will have to demonstrate understanding of the concepts covered and his ability to use them in a particular situation. During the oral exam, the student will be free to consult the documentation he wishes.
