Week 07-08 (Elastic Properties)

Learning Outcomes:

Basic knowledge of phonons and various material properties will be analyzed. This implies that the student will:
- know what phonons are, and be able to perform estimates of their dispersive and thermal properties
- be able to calculate thermal and electrical properties. Bonding schemes will be discussed.

Lesson Plan:

Lecture 01: Introduction to Elastic properties of solids.

Lecture 02: Studying the elastic constants.

Lecture 03: Elastic waves.

Lecture 04:Phonons

Lecture 05: Linkage of a phonon with thermal properties of solids.

Lecture 06: Problems
