|
|
The student knows the fundamentals of the following areas of knowledge and is able to apply them to simple/specific questions in:
General physics: optics, electrostatics, electromagnetism, optics, material physics etc.
Basic knowledge of chemistry and electrochemistry
Fundaments of experimental analytical methods, such as the course on experimental techniques, given in the BSc. Physics or an adequate course in chemistry, also basics of electronic devices and instruments is recommended
Basic knowledge of structural analysis
The student possesses experimental skills e.g. gain through experience in practical works in the chemical and/or physical laboratory as part of the bachelor thesis or similar.

|
|
The course is organised in three thematic modules, by focusing on material characteristics, relevant to applications. In particular quantum and semiconducting characteristics (Module 1), Photonic and biological characteristics (Module 2) and Electrochemical characteristics (Module 3). The modules include device processing and description of relevant environments.
Examples are:
- Materials for semiconducting and quantum technologies (for example materials for nano-electronic devices, quantum sensors or computers etc.)
- Materials with photonic properties (for example solar cells, lasers and LEDs and photonics circuits)
- Biomaterials (for example materials for healthcare, biosensors and medical diagnostic, bio-cell research)
- Materials for electrochemical applications (for example batteries, fuel cells, etc.)
The modules provide also information about processes how the specific devices are built, addressing the target performances and bottlenecks in these technologies.

|
|
|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Participation in practicals and presentations that are linked to an evaluation, as well as the evaluation itself, is mandatory. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | If a student does not participate in one or more of the components of the evaluation because of an unjustified reason, he/she will receive an "N = evaluation not fully completed: unjustified absence for one or more components of the evaluation" as the final result for the course.
If a student is unjustifiedly absent during practicals and presentations that are linked to an evaluation, the student will receive as the final result for the entire course an "N = evaluation not fully completed: unjustified absence for one or more components of the evaluation". |
|
|
|
| Additional information | The practical evaluation during the teaching period consists of practicals and reports. For students with exam contract, the practical evaluation during the teaching period will be replaced by an alternative assignment and the presentation during the teaching period will be replaced by a presentation during the exam period. |
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | The practicals and presentations during the teaching period cannot be retaken (Transfer of partial marks within the academic year regardless of the mark obtained). Reports can be retaken. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Compulsory course material |
| |
A list of study materials needed to complete this course will be communicated to students during the academic year via Blackboard (e.g., course texts, certain key concepts which can already be applied (e.g. via video or other form), selected (review) articles, powerpoint slides from each lecture course, other supplementary materials) etc. |
