Department of Solid State Engineering

Synopsis:

In the first part of the semester, the students will gain basic practical skills in laser physics and usually used measurement methods and techniques. In the second part the students will focus on tasks in preparation of low-dimensional systems, physics of low temperatures and basic structure and spectroscopic methods of solid state physics.
