PHYS 430 - Fundamentals of Nano-Devices

This course serves as an introduction to the basic concepts of solid-state physics and the physical description of a various nanodevices. We review the quantum behavior of electrons and apply this model to the development of the fundamental relations that govern solid state devices which include diodes, transistors, and other nano-devices.
