New PhD Course Schedule, Starting Fall 2008

We are in the process of changing our specialty courses, introducing modern topics. The outline of the new modules is as follows (names in parentheses designate developer):

SSP Modules	AMO Modules
PH 575 Introduction to SS Physics	PH 585 Introduction to AMO Physics	3 credit 3 lectures per week
PH 671 Electron Transport (Ethan Minot)	PH 681 Topics in Modern Optics (Viktor Podolskiy)	2 credit 5 week 1h20m 3 lectures per week
PH 672 Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics (Guenter Schneider)	PH 682 Semiconductor Optics (Ethan Minot)
PH 673 Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Oksana Ostroverkhova)	PH 683 Nonlinear Optics (Bill Hetherington)
PH 674 Magnetism (Tom Giebultowicz)	PH 684 Ultrafast Optics and Coherent Spectroscopy (Yun-Shik Lee)

The typical program for the PhD is as follows. Students are expected to take one of ph575/585 in year one and one in year two.
