TIMEPERIOD:
Q 3

LANGUAGE:English/Swedish

EXAMINER
Per Arve Univ lekt


PREREQUISITES
Mathematics for EEIGM.


COURSE AIM
The goal of the course is to give knowledge of
- the quantum physics description of matter
- statistical aspects of thermal motion of atoms and molecules

CONTENTS
Quantum mechanics is introducedtogether with a number of physical systems for which a qauntum treatment is necessary, e.g. electrons in atoms, the motion of atoms in molecules and solid matter, and electronic motion in cristallic materials. Additionally, the influence of temperature is treated with an emphasis on the Boltzmann factor, which gives relative probabilities for thermal excitations.


TEACHING
Teaching comprises of class lectures, a laboratory exercise and a computor exercise.

EXAMINATION
Written examination and laboratory work.
