Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Know the basics of quantum mechanics, the basic concepts of semiconductor physics, the principles of solid state theory. 2. To be able to use methods of semiconductor physics, optics, quantum mechanics, experimental and theoretical methods of research of physical properties of metals, dielectrics and semiconductors. 3.

Course content
The course is devoted to the study of optical properties of semiconductors and physical processes underlying the methods of optical diagnostics. The electronic spectrum, absorption and emission of light by semiconductors are considered. The study of the discipline involves acquaintance with the latest methods of diagnostics of nanostructures and control of optical properties of semiconductor materials. The program of the discipline consists of two content modules: 1. Absorption and radiation of light semiconductor nanostructures, phonon processes in semiconductors, independent study of descriptive material specified by the lecturer. 2. Optical methods of diagnostics and analysis of semiconductors, in particular spectroscopy of reflection, absorption and photoluminescence, Raman scattering, spectral ellipsometry, photoelectron spectroscopy, kinetic methods of diagnostics of semiconductors. Independent study of the descriptive material specified by the lecturer is provided.
