Covers the transition from free to nearly free electron models, exploring energy levels, Fermi surfaces, effective mass, and electron behavior in metals.
Explores beam-matter interactions, focusing on emission phenomena from core electron ionization by X-Rays and electrons, and the competition between Auger and X-Rays emissions.
Explores phonon frequencies, heat capacity, thermal properties, vibrations in solids, free electron gas, Fermi function, and density functional theory.
Discusses metal-semiconductor junctions, their historical context, thermodynamic equilibrium, and the principles governing their operation in semiconductor technology.
