Nanoscale Energy Transport

Catalog description

(cross-leveled with MAE 7325 ). This course examines non-equilibrium energy processes from the vantage point of fundamental energy carriers. Topics include foundational solid state physics, statistical energy carrier distributions, density of states, and dispersion relationships. Energy transport will be discussed in terms of kinetic theory, the Landauer Formalism, and the Boltzmann Transport Equation. Graded on A-F basis only. Credit Hour s : 3 Prerequisites: Senior standing in MAE
