Course Name: Solid State Physics

Course abstract

In universe, matter is observable in everyday life in four states: solid, liquid, gas and plasma. There are other states of mater known to exist only under extreme situations. Matter, whatever the states, is made of atoms. The states are defined in terms of interatomic distance, atomic arrangement and atomic ionization in matter. In solid state of matter, the arrangement of atoms forms different structure of materials. The structure of materials is the key deciding factor for different kind of properties, such as thermal, electrical, optical, magnetic, dielectric etc. In this course we will learn the structure of solid materials and their different physical properties along with underlying physics.

Prof. Amal Kumar Das

After completion of B.Sc (Hons) from Calcutta University in Physics and M. Sc in Physics with specialization in solid state physics in 1994, I did Ph.D on experimental solid state physics and material science from Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar. After completing post doctoral research on magnetic properties of solids from Paul Drude Institute, Berlin, Germany, I joined as a Faculty in Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT KGP) in 2004 and teaching different subject to UG and PG students including popular courses, namely solid state devices and physics of semiconductor devices. Prior to join IIT KGP, I taught solid state physics for several years to B. Sc students in an undergraduate college (Malda College under North Bengal University), West Bengal.
