The student must know the basic concepts of condensed matter physics; basic mechanisms of heat and electricity transfer in condensed media; quantum mechanisms that determine superconductivity and superfluidity; the main types of scattering of conduction electrons in metals and semiconductors; main properties of ferro- and antiferromagnets; basic concepts of zone structure semiconductors; basics of equilibrium statistics and non-equilibrium carriers in semiconductors; basic concepts of the physics of low-dimensional systems, in particular graphene. The student should be able to derive basic equations for electrical and thermal conductivity; to analyze the contribution of various electron scattering mechanisms to electrical conductivity; obtain expressions for energy within the framework of the effective mass method impurity levels in semiconductors; to obtain expressions for the dependence of carrier concentration in a semiconductor on its band parameters and on temperature.

Lectures, independent work.

Semester assessment: the academic semester has two content modules. After the completion of the relevant topics, two written modular tests are conducted. To determine the level of achievement of learning outcomes, the tasks for the modular control work test the ability to solve specific problems of functional electronics and understand the operation of specific devices. Final evaluation (in the form of credit): the form of credit is written and oral. . In total, you can get from 0 to 40 points for the credit. A condition for achieving a positive grade for a discipline is to obtain at least 60 points, while the grade for credit is not may be less than 25 points.
