DAVIES J. H. : THE PHYSICS OF LOW DIMENSIONAL SEMICONDUCTORS [CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS)
Type of delivery of the course
Lectures . The details of the mathematical calculations will be performed on the black-board. Some topics will be shown by projecting slides and reporting examples taken from recent scientific literature as an example.Type of evaluation
final oral examination. The examination i composed by 2 questions,typically one concerning the quantum magnetotransport, the second the optical properties of the confined systems. The student should proof his capability in putting the requested topic in a more general frame as well as to perform mathematical calculations teacher profile teaching materials
