MSE326: X-ray Science and Techniques
A broad overview of state of the art x-ray techniques and applications. X-ray interaction with matter; diffraction from ordered and disordered materials; x-ray absorption, photoemission, and coherent scattering; x-ray microscopy. Sources including synchrotrons, high harmonic generation, x-ray lasers; time-resolved techniques; detector technology.
Syllabus
MSE157:Quantum Mechanics of Nanoscale Materials
A basic introduction to quantum mechanics and its application to the properties of materials; The Schrodinger equation, uncertainty principle, bound states and periodic potentials, angular momentum, quantumstatistics, perturbation theory. Applications to electronic band structure in semiconductors, metals, and nanostructures; vibrational properties of solids; light/matter interaction and lasers; bonding; magnetic materials; nanotechnology. Only a working knowledge of calculus and high-school-level physics is assumed.
