Electrical, Optical & Magnetic Materials and Devices Instructional Objectives and Outcomes 1. Analyze the behavior of carriers (electrons and holes) in semiconductors in terms of drift, diffusion and recombination/generation. 2. Understand the meaning of energy levels in semiconductors, including the position of the fermi level at equilibrium and out of equilibrium. 3. Describe the operation of a pn junction and apply this understanding to more complex situations (bipolar junction transistor, junction field effect transistor, solar cell, light emitting diode, laser diode, etc.) 4. Understand the behavior of light in solids and how this can be incorporated into photonic devices, waveguides, optical fibers etc. 5. Understand basic magnetic quantities (field, induction, and moment) and phenomena (e.g. induction) and apply to simple devices (D.C. motor, disk drive, and transformer). 6. Demonstrate ability to select materials for device applications based on the desired optical, electrical or magnetic performance of the device. 7. Demonstrate ability to research the literature and to summarize important findings in writing. ocw.mit.edu/courses/materials-science-and-engineering/3-15-electrical-optical-magnetic-materials-and-devices-fall-2006/index.htm
