Osnova předmětu

1. Description of the electronic structure of various types of solids in terms of semiclassical and quantum theory.
2. The description of electron-phonon interactions in nanostructures in terms of quantum confinement and the influence of this effect on quantum transitions, especially in the field of semiconductors.
