Annotation -

Quantum mechanics has fundamental importance in the study of materials fields. It allows understanding the principles of behavior of infinitely small objects ranging from nanostructures to single atoms and even to subatomic objects. Students will be acquainted with the mathematical apparatus necessary for quantum-mechanical description of the particle assemblies in isolated form and in the presence conservative and non-conservative force fields. This course extends knowledge of students in the field of harmonic processes in quantum mechanics, study of transport of electric charge in solids, or in the field of the Schrödinger equation of the crystal. Last but not least, the students will be acquainted with the important parameters of electrons in terms of their transport in solids. The problems of velocity, acceleration and effective weight of electron in k-state and the concept of hole and hole-conductivity will be explained.
