Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions

Content

 

Recently, there has been a considerable interest in the study of magnetic metamaterials from the application (for e.g. from a next generation hard-disk data storage perspective) as well as fundamental physics perspectives (such as study of artificial spin ice systems). In the proseminar, the talks given by the students address timely topics covering various aspects of research in magnetic metamaterials, e.g., how magnetic metamaterial are prepared using nanofabrication techniques and can be studied using various experimental and simulation techniques. The supervisor will introduce the students to the relevant topics

Learning Outcome

 

The students will learn about the scientific topic itself, e.g., related to research considered in the excellence cluster "nanosystems initiative munich (NIM)" or the transregional research center TRR80 "From electronic correlations to functionality". Further, the students will learn about the oral presentation of a technical subject in a concise manner including the creation of relevant slides, the handling of modern presentation techniques and ad hoc scientific discussions. Talks will be given in English.

Preconditions

 

Lectures in experimental physics and the physics of condensed matter

Courses, Learning and Teaching Methods and Literature

Learning and Teaching Methods

Journal articles to be studied, search for further source materials, creation of a presentation, techniques to be addressed: software for visualizaton and presentation, pc, beamer

Media

Slides (powerpoint, adobe), handouts, chalk board

Literature

Literature containing basic information will be provided.

Module Exam

Description of exams and course work

In the course of the seminar each student individually prepares a talk on a topic of current research. Based on this talk the learning outcome is tested.

Exam Repetition

There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.
