| term | Sommersemester |
| previous knowledge and experience | Basic knowledge of computer programming, basic knowledge of physics at the level of a BSc degree in physics including the content of a first experimentally oriented lecture on solid state physics. It is recommended to attend the lecture "Advanced Experimental Physics" first. |
| learning outcome | Students know and master the most important methods for the formal description of solid-state physics phenomena. They have an in-depth understanding of the electronic band structure and elementary excitations. They understand the importance of approximation methods in many-body physics. Students are able to explain solid-state physics relationships and phenomena appropriately for different target groups. |
| content | Module part "Solid State Theory":Crystal structures, lattice vibrations, electronic states, conductivity, optical properties, technological significance of different solid state phases, low-dimensional structures, superconductivity, polymers, introduction to many-body theory and materials physicsModule part "Monte Carlo Methods":Optimization in high-dimensional spaces; characterization of objective functions in terms of minima and saddle points; generation of random numbers; Monte Carlo and quantum Monte Carlo methods; molecular dynamics; Brownian/Stokes dynamics. |
| media of instruction and technical requirements for education and examination in case of online participation | mainly blackboard, also beamer presentations and handouts |
| literature / references | Module part "Solid State Theory": Textbooks of solid state physics (a large selection of suitable books, German and English); specifically recommended by R. Gross, A. Marx: Festkörperphysik (Oldenbourg Verlag)Module part "Monte-Carlo-Simulations": According to the practical orientation of this module part, mainly changing internet resources are used. |
