Course Aims | ||||||||||
Nowadays, economic development relies heavily on energy
resources and energy technologies. Considerable efforts have been devoted to
the design of novel materials for energy related applications, especially for
the generation and storage of clean and renewable energies such as solar
energy. Among these materials, wave functional materials such as metamaterials
and photonic crystals are promising candidates due to their unusual properties.
This course aims to provide students a detailed introduction and comprehensive
understanding of wave functional materials. It will emphasize the underlying
physical mechanism responsible for their unusual properties such as resonance
enhancement of light absorption. Practical applications such as energy
harvesting and storage, photon detection, and wireless power transfer will also
be discussed. By the end of this course, students will gain essential knowledge
and master necessary numerical and analytical techniques to design wave
functional materials. | ||||||||||
