Course content
The course "Physical properties of nanosystems" examines both classical and modern achievements in obtaining and describing physical laws and practical use of semiconductor nanoscale systems and properties of nanomaterials obtained by melt quenching and controlled nanostructuring from the amorphous state. The aim of the discipline is to master the basic requirements for obtaining and studying low-dimensional semiconductor structures, their main types and theory of high-temperature stability of amorphous alloys, the phenomenon of phase stratification in amorphous alloys, methods and properties of nanomaterials obtained by quenching and controlled theory of high-temperature stability of amorphous alloys.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
.Lectures - 30 hours, Laboratory work 30 hours, Self-study -60 hours, consultations.
Assessment methods and criteria
Interviews during the lecture, checking essays and other forms of independent work. Modular tests. Exam. Two modular tests: (18-24) points. Self-study: (6-12) points. Protection of laboratory works (12-24 points). A student is not allowed to take the exam if he / she scored less than 36 points during the semester. The grade for the exam cannot be less than 24 points to get an overall positive grade for the course.
