First-Principles Multiscale Modelling in Catalysis-, Energy-, and Materials-Research
Module PH1407
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
PH1407 is a semester module in 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 condensed matter physics
- Catalogue of student seminars for Applied and Engineering 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 | 30 h | 4 CP |
Responsible coordinator of the module PH1407 is Karsten Reuter.
Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Seminar talks by students on current topics in the field of research. In particular applications and methodological (DFT, MD, MC, kMC) developments in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, hybrid nano-materials,
photo- and electro-catalysis, metal-organic frameworks (MOF), and solid-state battery materials are addressed.
Learning Outcome
After successful participation in the module the student can use the basic methods of literature retrieval, condense their knowlegde from scientific papers into a presentation and obtain presentation skills.
They have learned about recent topics in the field of research.
Preconditions
Introductory Quantum Mechanics, Many-Body Theory, and Statistical Physics, Methodological aspects of Molecular Simulation
