PHY220 Festkörperphysik Praktikum

Prior knowledge about solid state physics is required. This laboratory course can be taken in parallel to the lecture PHY210 Solid State Physics.

Lecture Catalogue:

The lab course will start in October. In groups of two students you will carry out one out of three experiments, and write a report. Hence, every student will be during one full Monday in this laboratoy. We will arrange for the schedules if you take the Particle Physics Laboratory PHY221 in parallel.

The practical work and the report will be graded. The module is passed if the report is accepted and if the grade is sufficient (better than 4.0).

On Monday, starting from 9:15. The experiments will take a full day; for some experiments running over night, you may need to come back the next day to collect the data.
