Importance of the Course
This course contains a lot of information of solids e.g. Crystalline Status of Solid Amorphous Status of Solid If crystal then structure of the Solid Lattice, Basis, Types of structure Electronic configuration of Solid Brillion Zone, Symmetry etc.
Objective
This course is studied to understand status of the solid either crystalline or amorphous. This course provides basic physical concepts and mathematical tools used to describe solids. This course gives a valuable theoretical introduction and an overview of the fundamental applications of the physics of solids. This course also informs about the optical properties of the different materials based on the classical and quantum physics principles.
