Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course facilitates a choice of a diploma project by a student, and make it possible to get basic knowledge on modern areas of physics.
Prerequisites
Atomic Physics, Quantum Physics, Statistical Physics and Thermodynamics.
Completion of the course TF4.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The assessment of a student is made upon his performance in practice and quality of a discussion on topics selected at the examination (lecture notes allowed at preparation).
Aims
The emphases will be put to qualitative analysis of physical phenomena, explanation of basic properties of solids using microscopic models and of physical principles of selected experimental methods common in research of materials.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The presence of students at practice is obligatory and is monitored by a tutor. The way how to compensate missed practice lessons will be decided by a tutor depending on the range and content of the missed lessons.
