Tomorrow in Nanophysics we have very exciting event. During the practical (12:15 -14:00, Room FY ?257) we are going to visit Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany (by Scype!). Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is one of the world leading research institutes in nanotechnology. The information about the institute can be found here: https://www.phi.kit.edu/english/index.php . The research in the group we are going to visit is outlined on this webpage: https://www.phi.kit.edu/english/ustinov-research.php . The visit is organised by our exchange students in MENA5010.
We are deep in Nanophysics course. We started one of the most important subjects - magnetotransport in two-dimensional electron gas, which is working element in modern computing. The explanation of Quantum Hall effect and Shubnikov-de-Haas-oscillations is given. We will continue working with this on next practical. Attendance of the course is very good. Students are active in in-class solving of problems. Eight exciting short presentations are given. We are looking forward to future full presentations.
We successfully started Nanophysics course. Students’ activity is very high. We already have six very interesting short presentations from students. Pdf files of these presentations are on this semester’s webpage in the right column. We are looking forward for short presentations from other students. The highlight of the last week was visit to Superconductivity laboratory. More visits to laboratories carrying out research in nanophysics are planned.
Welcome to Nanophysics, spring semester 2016. Please note recently changed timetable. Lectures and practicals are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:15 to 14:00 in seminar room FY ?257. First lecture is on Tuesday 19 January. This semester, it is not intensive, but regular course. This will give more time to understand subject. Lectures plan, pdf files of lectures, questions to check understanding and suggested home activity for the whole semester are available through this webpage. We will address both basics and modern trends in Nanophysics. I hope that this course will be useful for your study, interesting and rewarding.
