KurzbeschreibungThis course presents a comprehensive discussion of optical processes in semiconductors.
LernzielThe rich physics of the optical properties of semiconductors, as well as the advanced processing available on these material, enabled numerous applications (lasers, LEDs and solar cells) as well as the realization of new physical concepts. Systems that will be covered include quantum dots, exciton-polaritons, quantum Hall fluids and graphene-like materials.
InhaltElectronic states in III-V materials and quantum structures, optical transitions, excitons and polaritons, novel two dimensional semiconductors, spin-orbit interaction and magneto-optics.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesPrerequisites: Quantum Mechanics I, Introduction to Solid State Physics
