The present course has the objective to provide the students with the first basic concepts of solid state physics, and to give a first introduction to the fundamental building blocks of modern computing devices, such as p-n junctions and transistors. By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- Apply the quantum physics machinery to provide a qualitative explanation of the basic electronic properties of materials, with a particular focus on semiconductors.
- Understand the basic properties of p-n junctions and transistors.
- Use neural networks to solve the differential equations arising from the application of quantum mechanics to solid state physics problems.
