This Summer School aims to provide an overview of the latest advances in the theory and simulation of defects in solids. The event consists of invited talks given by internationally renowned experts in the field, as well as networking opportunities and soc ...
This course introduces the elementary topological concepts and tools that recently spread from condensed matter physics to various quantum and classical wave systems. ...
Students analyze crystal structures, point defects and phase relations in ceramic materials and understand their effect on electrical, thermal and electromechanical properties. Properties of ceramic materials are investigated experimentally and results ana ...
Students learn about response of electrically insulating materials to electrical and mechanical fields. The emphasis is on effect of various types of defects on properties, on crystal structure/microstructure - property relations, and on ways how to engine ...
The course introduces dislocation defects, which are the carriers of plastic deformation in crystalline materials. Dislocations will be studied from both continuum and atomistic perspectives, and making connections to macroscopic plastic behavior with a f ...
