The is Grate course. The lattice part at the beginning is not all that well connected to what follows. I would enter the band structure without lattice discussion.
por SB22 de may. de 2020
Very informative course and nice approach to solve problems. Well tailored course suited to under graduate engineering students
por PM24 de jul. de 2020
The course structure is good. But the exercises are quite hard and no lectures are based on solving such problems.
por PR4 de jun. de 2020
A very useful course for me to understand semiconductor physics. And systematically operated course.
