Advances in Solid State Physics
Module PH1302
This module handbook serves to describe contents, learning outcome, methods and examination type as well as linking to current dates for courses and module examination in the respective sections.
Basic Information
PH1302 is a semester module in German or English language at Master’s level which is offered every semester.
This Module is included in the following catalogues within the study programs in physics.
- Catalogue of student seminars for Applied and Engineering Physics
- Catalogue of student seminars for the Bachelor's programme Physics
- Catalogue of student seminars for condensed matter physics
If not stated otherwise for export to a non-physics program the student workload is given in the following table.
| Total workload | Contact hours | Credits (ECTS) |
|---|---|---|
| 120 h | 40 h | 4 CP |
Responsible coordinator of the module PH1302 is Rudolf Gross.
Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Within the seminar students give talks on current topics in condensed matter physics. The students obtain detailed advise in preparing their presentations. The seminar aims to give a closer look at new developments in condensed matter physics and to show how these developments can be transferred into applications. The seminar puts particular focus on the topics spin electronics, solid-state quantum information processing, the physics of solid-state nanostructures, and high temperature superconductivity (including the recently discovered FeAs superconductors). These topics are in the focus of several collaborative research programs in the Munich area (e.g. Collaborative Research Center 631, Excellence Cluster "Nanosystems Initiative Munich").
Learning Outcome
Within the module the students acquire the following knowledge and skills:
1) Preparation and presentation of scientific talks. 2) Analysis and assessment of topical issues in condensed matter physics. 3) Expressing and understanding the foundations of spin electronics, solid-state quantum information processing, the physics of solid-state nanostructures, and high temperature superconductivity. explain and specify phase-coherent transport phenomena in low-dimensional electron systems. 4) Leading a scientific discussion.
