Entry knowledge
Secondary-school-level knowledge in geometric and and wave optics and solid state physics.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The assessment of a student is made upon his performance in practice and quality of a discussion on topics selected at the colloquium (lecture notes allowed at preparation).
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 missed lessons.
Aims
The goal of the the subject: to provide an overview of contemporary fundamental topics of Physicl Engineering with a special emphasis on nanotechnology, to inform students about research topics being studied at the Institute of Physical Engineering and to motivate students for the selection of properly aimed study- and creative- activities.
Basic physical knowledge needed for the understanding of solid state structure, interaction of the beams od electromagnetic radiation and charged particles with a matter. Sources and detectors of these beams.
