Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Lecture
Lab Hour(s): 3

This course is a study of the models and concepts underlying the physics of chemical species in the solid state. Topics covered will include crystal structures, mechanical properties of solids, electronic models of solids, and semiconductor devices. The laboratory component involves both tutorial style exploration of concepts as well as experimental investigation of topics such as x-ray diffraction and semiconductor materials. Credit for both. CHEM 3401 and Physics 3401 will not be permitted.

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1201 , CHEM 1202 and PHYS 1202 , all with a grade of C- or higher.
