260073 PR Laboratory Solid State Physics: Advanced Materials (2009W)

During this lab course 3 detailed experiments in the field of Solid State Physics will be conducted on advanced materials using modern research equipment. These examples will cover advanced materials with reduced dimensionality, such as fullerenes and nanotubes, biomaterials, high temperature superconductors, nanostructured metal surfaces, and semiconductors for photovoltaics. Basic topical issues of the nanoscopic and mesoscopic physics such as quantum correlation effects on phonons and electrons, quantum transport phenomena, local field effects, charge carrier type, injection and separation as well as structural confinement in metal surfaces and hybrid systems will be investigated. Attending the parallel seminar "Advanced Materials is required. As part of this lab the basic knowledge for a bachelor thesis can be acquired and the themes issued.
