Course Topics

The course provides hands-on experience(including one hour of Computer Lab per week) for graduate students in sciences (physics, chemistry, applied mathematics) and engineering (electrical, chemical, materials) to analyze electronic structure and transport properties of basic classes of nanostructures explored at the current research frontiers
  • Nanostructures in equilibrium: electronic structure of graphene and other two-dimensional materials, carbon nanotubes, topological insulators, magnetic multilayers.
  • Nanostructure out of equilibrium: quantum transport effects, such as conductance quantization, signatures of quantum interference in conductance, spin-dependent tunneling, spin and quantum Hall effects, spin torque, I-V curves.
  • Theoretical techniques: semi-empirical tight-binding models, density functional theory (DFT) for first-principles modeling, Landauer-Büttiker scattering formalism, nonequilibrium Green's functions (NEGF), NEGF+DFT techniques.
  • Experimental techniques: scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy.
  • Applications: nanoelectronics, spintronics, thermoelectrics.

News

  • Final Project is posted and is due on 12/15 as a poster.
  • Starting 10/14, we move to new classrooms, Ewing 210 on TuTh and Colburn 046 on W.

Lecture in Progress

  • Application of NEGF and NEGF+DFT to magnetic tunnel junctions

Course Motto

  • In teaching, writing, and research, there is no greater clarifier than a well-chosen example.
  • Formalism should not be introduced for its own sake, but only when it is needed for some particular problem.
  • Physics comes in two parts: the precise mathematical formulation of the laws, and the conceptual interpretation of the mathematics. However, if words of conceptual interpretation actually convey the wrong meaning of the mathematics, they must be replaced by more accurate words. (W. J. Mullin)
