Prerequisites: 2 of the following: MSE 207, ME 100A, ME 116A, EE 201, EE 202, MSE 217; or equivalents; graduate standing
Description: Explores fundamental processes of energy transport and conversion at short length and time scales. Introduces classical and quantum-mechanical size effects on electrons, phonons, and photons. Topics include modes of energy storage, coupling between energy carriers, and electrical and thermal transport using the Boltzmann transport equation and/or kinetic theory.
Cross-listing: Cross-listed with ME 244.
Credit: May be taken Satisfactory (S) or No Credit (NC) with consent of instructor and graduate advisor.
