Physics of Materials: Week 11 contents available

Dear student,
Consistent with the descriptions and discussions presented so far, this week we calculate the band structure of a system that has free electrons subject to a periodic potential. We then compare the approach we have used so far (The free electron approximation) with that used in the ‘Tight binding approximation’ and see how similar results are obtained. We then use the ideas developed through this course to understand phenomena associated with semiconductors.

This week's study materials are available now (https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc18_mm01/unit?unit=51&lesson=54). This week we look at Reciprocal space. It is necessary to understand this concept to further extend the theories about materials. We define reciprocal space and understand its important properties. We look at the phenomenon of diffraction and see how it is described in real space as well as in reciprocal space. We also look at how crystal structures in real space translate to structures in reciprocal space.

Physics of Materials: Week 7 contents and assignment are available

Dear Student,

This week we recognize that anisotropy is a fundamental characteristic of crystalline solids. To understand this better, we look at the potential experienced by an electron as a function of position in a 1 dimensional solid and recognize the concept of a potential well. We look at the concept of confinement of an electron and how that leads to a quantization of its energy. We examine this
concept using both waves supported by a string as well as by solving the Schrödinger wave equation in one dimension.

Dear student,
Please note that the fifth week contents of "Physics of Materials" course is available now(https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc18_mm01/unit?unit=30&lesson=32). This week we look into quantum mechanics. To incorporate quantum mechanical concepts in the model for solids, we begin by looking at the History of Quantum Mechanics. We examine key events and ideas that led to the formulation of quantum mechanics. We note the difficulty that even proposers of quantum mechanics faced in accepting these ideas which were so drastically different from the classical world that scientists had become accustomed to. Using these ideas we make our initial foray into the Drude-Sommerfeld model.

We identify the key principle of statistical mechanics. We understand the Lagrange method of undetermined multipliers, and use it to arrive at the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. We also look at characteristics that can enable us to describe particles as being ‘Classical’, and characteristics that imply that particles are displaying quantum mechanical behaviour.

Thank you for enrolling to this NPTEL course and we hope you have gone through the contents for this week and also attempted the assignment.
We value your feedback and wish to know how you found the videos and the questions asked - whether they were easy, difficult, as per your expectations, etc
We shall use this to make the course better and we can also know from the feedback which concepts need more explanation, etc.

Please do spare some time to give your feedback - comprises just 5 questions - should not take more than a minute, but makes a lot of difference for us as we know what the learners feel.

Welcome to Physics of Materials

Dear Student,


Welcome to the first week of this course!


This week we look at what scientists and engineers do, we look at various properties of materials, and we examine thermal expansion.


I hope you will have an enjoyable journey through the course.


Feel free to approach me with any difficulties you may face along the way.


Stay till the end of the course and attempt as many assignments as possible. I have them set up as multiple choice for the most part.


I can also arrange for a live session later in the semester to help you with any queries you may have.


Best wishes,
