Leerdoelen | The result of this phase is that each student will have acquired the necessary prerequisite knowledge, as defined by the following literature: Solid State Physics C. Kittel: Introduction to solid state physics. 8th edition. ISBN 978-0-471-41526-8 November 2004. Covered contents: CHAPTER 1: CRYSTAL STRUCTURE. CHAPTER 2: WAVE DIFFRACTION AND THE RECIPROCAL LATTICE. CHAPTER 3: CRYSTAL BINDING AND ELASTIC CONSTANTS. CHAPTER 4: PHONONS I. CRYSTAL VIBRATIONS. CHAPTER 5: PHONONS II. THERMAL PROPERTIES. CHAPTER 6: FREE ELECTRON FERMI GAS. CHAPTER 7: ENERGY BANDS. CHAPTER 8: SEMICONDUCTOR CRYSTALS. CHAPTER 9: FERMI SURFACES AND METALS. CHAPTER 10: SUPERCONDUCTIVITY. CHAPTER 11: DIAMAGNETISM AND PARAMAGNETISM CHAPTER 12: FERROMAGNETISM AND ANTIFERROMAGNETISM CHAPTER 17: SURFACE AND INTERFACE PHYSICS. For the sections: p-n Junctions, Light-Emitting Diodes As extra material available: Ashcroft and Mermin Solid State Physics ISBN-13: 978-0-03-083993-1 ISBN-10: 0-03-083993-9 Quantum Physics When studying this part under guidance of the lecturer, we will closely follow Chapters 1-5 of the book (and the lecturer will hand out extra problem sets). D. Griffiths-Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 2nd edition NOTE: there are many versions of this available with different ISBN's, and also 2nd hand, but any version that is a 2nd edition is fine. The 3rd edition is already available, but the problem sets make specific references to sections and paragraphs and problem numbers as in the 2nd edition. This material will not yet be updated by the teacher for the time being, since the program also owns some 12 paper copies of the 2nd edition of the book, see remark below. This is just one of many books covering the required topics, one especially geared towards physics students. For alternative sources that cover the same topics at the same level (but in part with more depth or detail), students are encouraged to use: - R.L. Liboff: Introductory quantum mechanics. 4th ed. San Francisco: Addison-Wesley, 2003. ISBN 0-8053-8714-5. Chapters 1--13. - Volume 1 and 2 of Cohen Tannoudji - Quantum Mechanics, 4th ed. Organic Chemistry K.P.C. Vollhardt, N.E. Schore: Organic chemistry: structure and function. 5th (2007), 6th (2011) or 7th (2015) edition New York: Freeman, 1998. ISBN 0-7167-2721-8. » In edition 5,6,7: Chapter 1; Ch 2; Ch 3: § 1--2; Ch 4: § 1--6; Chapter 5: § 1--6; Ch 6, Ch 7; Ch 8: § 1--2; Ch 9: § 1--6 ; Ch 10; Chapter 11: § 1--9; Ch 12: § 3, 14, 15; Ch 13: § 1--3; Ch 14: § 1--9; Ch 15; Ch 16: § 1--3; Chapter 17: § 1--3; Ch 18: § 1--2; Ch 19: § 1--4, 8--10; Ch 21: § 1--3, Ch 26: § 2, 4, 9, 10. basic knowledge of organic chemistry Inorganic chemistry Inorganic chemistry Weller, Overton, Rourke, Armstrong: Inorganic Chemistry. 6th ed. or 7th ed. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014. ISBN 978-0-19-964182-6 (6th ed.) Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2018. ISBN 978-0-19-876812-8 (7th ed.) Chapters 1-7. (Please note that the same topics are covered in earlier editions, which can also be used for this course.) Most literature mentioned above will be available in the Nanoroom, otherwise please ask the programme director prof. dr. T.L.C. Jansen. The following books on mathematics and thermodynamics are also recommended and are available in the Nanoroom. Mathematics Steiner: The Chemistry Maths Book 2nd ed. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007. ISBN 978-0-19-920535-6 Thermodynamics Atkins, De Paula, Friedman: Quanta, Matter and Change 2nd ed. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013.

Omschrijving | The aim of the guided self-study is to allow the student to acquire the background knowledge in mathematics, physics and chemistry needed for the Core Curriculum (WMNS008-10 Preparation of Nanomaterials and Devices, WMNS009-08 Characterization of Nanomaterials and Devices, WMNS010-11 Fundamental and Functional Properties of Nanomaterials and Devices). As students in the Top Master Programme in Nanoscience will have different backgrounds, a consolidation phase is needed. The contents of this phase will be determined on an individual basis, based on their bachelor knowledge and selection interview. All students have to pass two of the following parts. The two parts are announced in the admission letter. Course Coordinator: G.R. Blake Part: Lecturer (Second Examiner) Part Quantum Physics: C.H. van der Wal (G.R. Blake) Part Solid State physics: J. Ye (M.A. Loi) Part Organic chemistry: T.L.C. Jansen (S. Otto) Part Inorganic Chemistry: G.R. Blake (B. Noheda) The mentioned lecturers van der Wal, Ye, Jansen and Blake, for each major topic, are available as tutors to help students in studying this material.

(The written exam for each part is 3 h. In case of a resit for a written exam the lecturer may decide to give an oral exam. In that case: Oral exam: the final mark is based on the number of correct answers and the quality of the discussion. The oral exam is documented using the nanoscience oral exam grading form.) |

Opmerkingen | The students receive a grade for the two parts they have to do for the guided self study. Both grades should be > 5.5. Since not all students do the same parts, the final result for this course is a Pass or a Fail which will be registered on ProgressPortaal. The Guided Self-study is an entry requirement for the core modules (WMNS008-10 Preparation of Nanomaterials and Devices, WMNS009-08 Characterization of Nanomaterials and Devices, WMNS010-11 Fundamental and Functional Properties of Nanomaterials and Devices). When a re-exam is needed for passing a part of the Guided self-study, the re-exam must be held and passed before the first partial exams of the Core Curriculum. In case of a resit for a written exam the lecturer may decide to give an oral exam. In that case: Oral exam: the final mark is based on the number of correct answers and the quality of the discussion. The oral exam is documented using the nanoscience oral exam grading form. In case the assessment has to take place online, the written exams will be adjusted to online written exams from home.
