Lecturer: R. Klingeler / A. Reiser

 

Lecture time

Lectures will be given onlina via Zoom; invitation has been sent to registered students.

Tuesday, 11:15 - 13:00 h (INF 308, HS2)
Thursday, 11:15 - 13:00 h (INF 308, HS2)

 

Content:

• Extendend Table of Contents with lecture slides, some lecture notes and further reading
• Recommended literature

 

Tutorials: Tue + Wed (Online via zoom; see top of page)

• The tutorials will be held using Zoom. Your tutor will send you an invitation email. The tutorial dates and times remain unchanged with respect to the course catalog at LSF.
• The homework is handed in via the upload tool in the tutorial database.
• Please hand in pdf-files only for file handling reasons. Please do not send photographs in jpg or similiar picture formats. File size optimization is helpful in times of limited bandwidths ...
• We recommend to use a scanner or scanner app, for example Microsoft Office Lens or others. Please scan the solutions to form a single pdf.

 

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.
