Course description
The aim of this course is to understand physical origins of electricity, magnetism, and optical property of materials, which are applicable to investigation of newly developed materials including semiconductors and superconductors in materials science. The topics leaned in the basic physical lectures, such as Mechanics and Electrodynamics, are comprehensively applied to understanding for physical properties of materials. Applications to industrial technology, for example, quantum devices and magnetic and optical memories are also focused on.
Expected Learning
1. able to understand the physical origins of electricity, magnetism, and optical property of materials.
2. able to understand application of physical properties of materials to materials science and industrial technology.
3. able to explain in English about physics of material science.
