| Learning Outcome: | After successfully completing the module, students are acquainted with concepts of quantum mechanics and solid state physics and their application to the description of modern devices as well as their relevance for nanoscience, nanotechnology and information technology using real-world examples. They not only know how to acquire scientific knowledge but are also able to place physical phenomena into a more general context while exploring links between the different topics. In addition, students possess personal skills such as the capability for teamwork, precise reasoning, perseverance and openmindedness.
