Distance form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Know the basic principles of solid state theory, approaches to describing the behavior of electronic and ionic (atomic) subsystems of condensed media and features of their response to excitation by electromagnetic waves, calculation of energy spectra of density of electronic states for both ordered and disordered systems.
2. Be able to propose experimental methods for determining the optical and electronic characteristics of both continuous and nanostructured media used in devices of optoelectronics, laser technology and information networks.
3. Have the skills to perform optical polarization measurements for inhomogeneous surface layers of media with different conductivities, finding angular, azimuthal and spectral ellipsometric characteristics and calculation of thicknesses and optical stable semiconductor heterostructures and thin films on metal surfaces
Course content
The discipline includes the study of sections: basic physical processes that accompany the interaction of light with various materials from transparent to highly absorbing, taking into account losses due to absorbing and scattering components when passing through thin transitional and reflective surface layers of media with different conductivity, optical properties and optical properties. structure of semiconductor single crystals, noncrystalline dielectric materials, amorphous metal alloys, nanocrystalline solids, development of new goniopolarimetry methods and algorithms for processing experimental optical data.
