LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Comprehension of the physical properties underlying the operation of the main solid-state devices with reference to the electronic and optical properties of semiconductors.
In line with the educational objectives of the Study Program stated in the SUA-CdS, the training activity aims to provide the student with the following knowledge and skills
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Ability to relate the physical characteristics of the materials to the operating parameters of the device.
The course aims to stimulate those learning skills that enable them to continue to study advanced research topics in a self-directed and autonomous way.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Apply the comprehension of the basic principles to the determination of the operating parameters of some devices in a process which is fundamental for the analysis and design of solid state devices.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS:
The student shall develop the ability to integrate the knowledges and to manage complexity and to organize the thematic deepening to enlarge his/her understanding of the physical phenomena.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
The student shall be able to comunicate clearly and without ambiguity the physical phenomena, togheter with the knowledge underlying them, to a specialistic and not-specialistic audience.
LEARNING SKILLS:
The student shall prove knowledge and comprehension skills that extend and strengthen those typically associated to the first cicle of study and let elaborate and aplly original ideas, even in a context of reserch.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
The quantization of the electromagnetic field. Quantum states of electromagnetic radiation
Description and demonstration (also by means of some experimental simulations) of the coherence properties of the first and second order of various light sources. The quantization of the electromagnetic field. Quantum states of electromagnetic radiation.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Acquisition of the general principles and of the phenomenology of electromagnetic radiation.
Understanding of the interaction of matter radiation within the semiclassical and quantum theory. Understanding pecularities of quantum radiation states compared to classical states.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Knowing how to connect the microscopic and macroscopic vision of absorption (the optical constants). Preparation and interpretation of simple experiments and the limits of applicability of the studied theory.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
Description and discussion of laboratory experiments and experimental conditions in relation to the acquired knowledge.
