Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.
| additional remarks |
This module, designed for students following the AEP / KM Masters program at TUM will provide students with an introduction into the physical principles and experimental implementation of the most important spectroscopy methods used in condensed matter physics. Such methods are essential for the microscopic structural, chemical and optoelectronic characterization of crystalline and non-crystalline solids, novel interfaces and nanostructures. In particular, we will explore the fundamental physical principles and application of the following methods with examples from the labs in WSI and ZNN whenever possible. We will explore the following topics:
Imaging techniques: Electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy (SEM, TEM, STM, AFM, SNOM and KFM)
Scattering and diffraction techniques: X-Ray, Neutron and Electron (HRXRD, LEED; SAXS; SANS)
Chemical and compositional analysis (SIMS; AES, EDX; PS and UPS)
Optical spectroscopic methods (important optical components, FTIR,Raman, Ellipsometry, Transmission, Absorption, Reflection,Photoluminescence (PL), PL-excitation spectroscopy.)
Ultrafast spectroscopic methods (Ultrafast lasers, time resolved luminescence, pump-probe, four-wave mixing and other coherent spectroscopy techniques)
Nuclear and Electron Spin Resonance
Methods to probe electronic and ionic charge transport |
