The purpose of this lecture course is to provide a deeper understanding of the materials science of solid state matter. The accent lies here on the materials science of thin films. The course consists of three parts. The first part deals with the basic properties of materials. These are treated through the thermodynamics, growth processes and structure (amorphous, poly-crystalline, single crystal) of various materials. Part two covers the different deposition methods for the production of thin films (vacuum deposition, sputtering, laser ablation, MBE) and part three the analysis of these films (scanning probe microscopy, SEM, TEM, X-ray diffraction).

minor
quantum for the curious
This minor introduces non-physics students to key quantum physics phenomena and the emergent quantum technologies and applications. ‘Quantum for the Curious’ seeks to enthuse students about quantum physics and informs students about the use of quantum phenomena in technologies. The minor promotes scientific literacy in the field of quantum physics and provides essential knowledge and skills for industries that increasingly use quantum technologies.
