Ing. Pavel Urban, Ph.D.

Institute of Physical Engineering

Knowledge about physical phenomena and matter properties at low temperatures, basics for work in low temperature laboratory (1,5 K – 300 K).

Basic course of physics.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

The condition for award of the course-unit credit is a student’s work: design of a simple cryogenic equipment or experiment

The aim of the course is to present basics of low temperature physics, technology and design of low temperature equipment for physical experiments and other applications.

Absence has to be compensated by self-study or assigned homework. Presence in laboratory exercises is obligatory.
