OBJECTIVES:
This subject provides the insight to physics of material starting with basics of matter
waves, lattice vibrations and band theories to understand properties of metals,
semiconductors, electric conductors, dielectrics, ferroelectrics, superconductors and
thermal properties of materials
UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO MODERN PHYSICS AND LATTICE DYNAMICS 9
Matter waves – Heisenberg’s uncertainity principle - Schrodinger’s time independent
wave equation – Physical significance of wave function (y) – Application to a particle in a
one dimensional box (infinite potential well)- Interatomic forces and lattice dynamics and
34
simple metals, ionic and covalent crystals. Elastic waves in one dimensional array of
identical atoms, vibrational modes of a diatomic linear lattice and dispersion relations,
acoustic and optical modes, phonon dispersion relation.
UNIT II BAND THEORY OF SOLIDS AND SEMICONDUCTOR PHYSICS 9
Fermi- Dirac distribution function, density of states, temperature dependence of Fermi
energy, specific heat, use of Fermi- Dirac statistics in the calculation of thermal
conductivity and electrical conductivity, Widemann -Franz ratio, susceptibility, width of
conduction band, Drude theory of light, absorption in metals. Bloch theorem. Behaviour
of electrons in periodic potentials, Kronig-Penny model, E vs k relation, Density of states
in a band, effective mass of electron, physical basis of effective mass, Intrinsic
semiconductors. Band model, Fermi level, Expressions for electron and hole
concentration in intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, Thermal ionization of impurities,
Hall effect in semi conductors (p-type and n-type).
UNIT III DIELECTRICS AND FERROELECTRICS 9
Macroscopic description of the static dielectric constant. The electronic and ionic
polarizabilities of molecules, orientational polarization, Measurement of the dielectric
constant of a solid. The internal field of Lorentb, Clausium-Mosotti relation. Behaviour of
dielectrics in an alternating field, elementary ideas on dipole relaxation, classification of
ferroelectric crystals -BaTiO3 and KDP. Thermodynamics of ferroelectric crystals -
Devonshire theory.
UNIT IV MAGNETISM 9
Larmor diamagnetism. Paramagnetism, Curie Langevin and Quantum theories.
Susceptibility of rare earth and transition metals. Ferromagnetism : Domian theory,
Weiss molecular field and exchange, spin waves: dispersion relation and its
experimental determination by inelastic neutrons scattering, heat capacity. Nuclear
