Course Objectives
Introducing students to the fundamental properties of solids and their application areas. In this context, the course aims to first provide an understanding of solid-state physics and the fundamental approaches used in the classification of solids. Key topics such as lattice structures, lattice vibrations, and energy band theory, which form the basis of electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties in solids, will be covered. Additionally, widely used semiconductors and semiconductor devices will be introduced. Finally, dielectric properties and superconductors will be discussed, and the course will conclude by establishing a connection between these topics and nanostructures.
