Advanced Condensed Matter Physics (MKEP2)

Lecture (4 hours/week) and exercises (2 hours/week) with homework (8 Credit Points)

Lecturer: R. Klingeler / A. Reiser

Lecture time

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
• Some but incomplete list of questions for self-controlling

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.
