semiconductor devices, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, batteries, fuel cells, and memory devices. Key concepts include symmetry, crystal structure, solid-state bonding models, band theory, and electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of materials. Modern methods of solid-state syntheses and materials characterization techniques will be conveyed through student-designed laboratory research projects that emphasize analysis of primary literature, scientific writing, and data analysis.

Prerequisite: Chemistry & Biochemistry 250 and Chemistry & Biochemistry 275, or consent of instructor.
