10.31 Nanoscale Energy Transport Processes
(
)
Not offered regularly; consult department
(Subject meets with 10.51)
Prereq: ((2.51 or 10.302) and (3.033 or 5.61)) or permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Explores the impact of nanoscale phenomena on macroscale transport of energy-carrying molecules, phonons, electrons, and excitons. Studies the effect of structural and energetic disorder, wave-like vs. particle-like transport, quantum and classical size effects, and quantum coherence. Emphasizes quantitative analysis, including the Boltzmann transport equation, Einstein relation, Wiedemann-Franz law, and Marcus electron transfer theory. Also addresses percolation theory and the connection to energy conversion technologies, such as solar cells, thermoelectrics, and LEDs. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
