Learning and Teaching Methods
In addition to the lectures and the individual learning methods of the student, an improved understanding is targeted by performing computer exercises in individual and group work.
The theoretical background will be provided in the lectures based on direct instruction/lecturing and interactive discussions with the students. The exercises involve working on the problem sets and programming tasks individually at home, as well as developing the solutions interactively in class. The take-home project involves independent numerical code development.
Workload: 150 hours (60 contact hours, 90 self-study hours)
Media
- Computer-based presentations which also constitute the lecture notes
- Blackboard notes
- Computer demonstrations
- Computer-based exercises, additional blackboard notes and presentation slides for solving problem sets (additionally, sample solutions will be provided)
Literature
- J. H. Davies: The Physics of Low-Dimensional Semiconductors
Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
By answering questions and discussing given examples, the students show that they understand the quantum mechanical and numerical concepts introduced in this course, and can apply them to quantum nanoelectronic devices and structures. In this context, the numerical code developed as a take-home project will also be discussed.
Exam Repetition
There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.
