    The course goal is to give the student an in-depth understanding of the field. It is a semi-historical treatment of the progress in understanding the atom from the classical period pre-1900 to the beginnings of quantum mechanics.
    Prerequisite(s): PHYS 4331
  
  • PHYS 5330 - Thermodynamics


    Credit(s): 3

    Includes the kinetic theory of gases, Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, Fermi-Dirac statistics, the Debye Approximation, magnetic cooling and the theory of heat engines.
    Prerequisite(s): PHYS 3333
  
  • PHYS 5334 - Solid State Physics


    Credit(s): 3

    An interplay of experiment and theory provides insight into both surface and interface physics, non-crystalline solids and alloys. Energy band structures and dispersion relationships expand student’s command of electrodynamics, crystallography, thermodynamics, optics, and classical, quantum, and statistical mechanics.
    Prerequisite(s): PHYS 4331
  
  • PHYS 5350 - Introductory Quantum Mechanics


    Credit(s): 3

    DeBroglie wave, Schroedinger formulation, step and barrier potentials, perturbation theory, harmonic oscillator, annihilation and creation operations, commutation relations, and representations.
  
  • PHYS 5381 - Problems in Teaching College Physics A and B Lab


    Credit(s): 1-3
