 | | As materials and devices shrink to the micro- and nanoscale, they transmit heat, light, and electronic energy much differently than at macroscopic length scales. |
 | | This course provides a foundation for studying the transport of thermal, optical, and electronic energy from a microscopic perspective. |
 | | Topics to be covered include natural and fabricated microstructures, transport and scattering of phonons and electrons in solids, photon-phonon and photon-electron interactions, radiative recombinations, elementary kinetic theory, and the Boltzmann transport equation. |
