The course is designed to help the graduate students that come from different background to develop a common base to build on. It will introduce different kind of materials briefly, and then focus on the properties of different materials. Throughout the course the main emphasis will be on covering optical, mechanical, electrical, magnetic and thermal properties of different materials' classes.Introductory materials science and engineering education or introductory solid state physics course are pre-requisite.
