| Learning Outcome: | After successfully completing the module, students can handle the basics of experimental solid state physics concerning theoretical and methodical aspects. In particular, they will be proficient in spectroscopic methods.They are able to bridge the theoretical and experimental aspects of spectroscopic methods in solid state physics to provide an appropriate framework for the interpretation and modeling of experimental results. Thus, they are able to grasp new frontiers in the development of innovative applications.
Based on the topics of this module, they know methods for gaining knowledge, the classify physical findings into the overall context and the cross link individual outcomes. Furthermore, they can apply their social competences like cooperation skills as well as other individual competences like accuracy, patience, curiosity, their own initiative. |
