Semester 2
Spring semester
The aim of this subject is giving experimental experiences to help those students, who intend to realize their study in the field of solid state physics and/or materials science. By taking this lab, the students will have opportunity to know and to learn different actual research areas and/or basic experimental methods in more details. During the semester, depending on the available possibilities the students have to choose and carry out 3 complex measurements in different topics. Each measurement – one topic – takes four weeks with 5 hour work per week in the lab and self-sufficient work at home, including also the preparation of topic-report.. The measurements may be in the following topics: High resolution bicrystal diffractometria, precipitation phase transition, scaling mechanical properties of solid materials, microstructural investigation of nanocrytal materials, physical characteristics of semiconductors, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), preparation and crystallization of metal glasses, investigation of fluid-crystals, Josephson effect, interacting electron systems, quantum Hall-effect, Mössbauer spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and focused ion beam (SEM/FIB), preparation of thin layers and their investigation by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
required readings:
will be given by the leader of the actual measurement at least one week before the lab.
