No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1963–64 to 1966–67; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Classical and quantum statistics, carrier concentrations and mobilities in semiconductors, determination of the Fermi level, bulk and surface recombinations, general mechanisms and mathematical treatment of photoconductivity, theory of p-n junction photocell, Dember effect. Macroscopic phenomena of superconductivity, the London equations, Cryotrons. Introduction to quantum electronics, conditions for population inversion, linewidth, gas lasers, injection lasers, ruby and other solid state lasers.
As printed in the 1966–67 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
