OPTI 434 Electrical and Optical Properties of Materials

Properties of conductors, insulators, and semiconducting materials as related to crystal structure, interatomic bonding and defect structures.

The course is designed to cover electrical and optical properties of materials including all three materials classifications (conductors, insulators, semiconductors). The course content has covered all of these subject areas for at least 13 years and it recently came to our attention that the course catalog entry was truncated and incorrectly suggests that only one of these discussion areas is covered in the course.
