Objectives
After completing the course the students
- have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of condensed matter physics.
- they understand the principles of formation of condensed matter and have learnt experimental methods to study structural properties. They are familiar with the reciprocal space.
- they understand fundamental electronic models, become aquainted with bandstructure and can describe simple crystalline materials as metals, seminconductors, and insulators.
- they can apply the basic concepts to understand optical and magnetic properties of matter and superconductivity.
- they know the relevant experimental methods for probing structural, optical, magnetic, and electronic properties of condensed matter and can analyse the experimental results.
- get insight into modern trends in experimental condensed matter physics.
