Summary

The subject belongs to the group of disciplinary subjects. It builds on the student's knowledge of mathematics, quantum physics and chemistry, statistical physics and thermodynamics. It starts with the basic concepts in solid state theory - free electrons and the band model of solids, and the classification of materials according to band structure into conductors, semiconductors and insulators. After a basic summary of the electron theory of solids at the macroscale, the limitation of the wave function of electrons and phonons by the quantum wave function restriction effect in nanostructures, and its effect on their properties, are explained as well as the principles of application of positron annihilation spectroscopy for microstructural analysis of crystals.
