Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of this lab course is to give students concrete hands-on experience in modern research in (experimental) solid state physics.The students will be divided into groups of two, and each group will select two different research topics.The topics will cover a wide range of methods ranging from studies of superconductivity and magnetism to atomic resolution transmission electron microscopy and optical spectroscopy. Both experimental as well as computational projects can be offered.A successful participation in the seminar "260084 Introduction to solid state physics lab courses" (during the same semester) is expected as a prerequisite.
Assessment and permitted materials
Course will be graded based on the participation in the practical exercises and the protocols describing each experiment.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Both students of a group have to be present and have to contribute to the execution of the experiments. On the basis of the protocol it must be clearly visible that the basic physical principles of the experiment were understood. The experimental data must be analyzed and interpreted correctly.The protocol must be handed in within two weeks from the end of the practical exercise, unless otherwise agreed with the instructors.
Examination topics
The protocol must provide a clear motivation for the work, briefly summarize the current state-of-the-art based on provided literature, describe the experiments and analysis of the results, and a discussion reflecting on the results and issues encountered during the practical work.
Reading list
Necessary literature will be provided during the course.
