In this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their limits of validity. Next we discuss emerging opportunit ...
Solid State Physics IV provides a materials and experimental technique oriented introduction to the electronic and magnetic
properties of strongly correlated electron systems. Established knowledge is complemented by current research trends,
aiming to prep ...
Students will study fundamental principles of light-matter interaction and apply classical and quantum mechanical models for quantitative estimates. Optical phenomena in glasses, organic/inorganic semiconductors, liquid crystals, quantum dots as well as de ...
Series of lectures covering the use of electron spectroscopy for the study of the electronic and atomic structure of surfaces, nanostructures, and quantum materials. Special attention is given to various forms of photoelectron spectroscopy and to spin dete ...
