Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course provides a practical survey on Materials Physics and its most important methods. The experiments comprise (1) Crystal growth, vacuum and furnace technology, (2) Texture measurement and orientation determination, (3) Elastic modulus of metals and glasses, (4) Plastic deformation of metals and polymers, (5) Precipitation hardening, light microscopy & hardness, (6) Thermal analysis of metals and polymers, and (7) Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)- Analysis of phases and lattice defects

Assessment and permitted materials

The judging of students is derived from the activity in the preceding seminars, the engagement during the experiments, and from the result of final questioning.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Correct handling of modern research facilities, good physical understanding, suitable documentation of experiments, and the specific preparation for a bachelor-, master work, and/or a doctoral thesis on materials physics.

Examination topics

The lab course uses modern audio-visual tools and state-of-the-art research instruments.
