PLO-04. Plan and perform experimental and / or theoretical research in physics (astronomy) and related interdisciplinary fields using modern tools, critically analyze the results of their own research and the results of other researchers in the context of the whole complex of modern knowledge on the research problem. PLO-07. Deeply understand the general principles and methods of natural sciences, as well as the methodology of scientific research, be able to apply them in their own research in physics (astronomy) and in teaching practice.

Distance form

• Know the basic laws of electricity, optics, mathematical analysis, ordinary differential equations, classical electrodynamics and methods of mathematical physics. • Be able to apply prior knowledge of mathematical analysis, mathematical physics, basics of vector and tensor analysis and differential equations to solve algebraic and differential equations and systems; to analyze the components of the free energy of colloids, to analyze the interaction of the external field with the heterogeneous colloid; use modern computer programs to solve problems of electrodynamics and minimize the functionality of free energy. • Have basic skills in calculating derivatives, integrals, graphically plotting functions, defining and decomposing functions into series and Fourier integrals. Free to master the skills of delta function, gamma function, beta function.

The discipline provides knowledge of modern theory of liquid crystals filled with nanoparticles. Heterogeneous colloids based on liquid crystals are promising materials, the properties of which can be controlled by external electric and magnetic fields. Particular attention is paid to the calculation of effective electrodynamic parameters of anisotropic colloids. Learning outcomes are the ability to produce new ideas, solve complex problems of professional and / or research and innovation in physics and / or astronomy, which involves a deep rethinking of existing and creation of new holistic knowledge and / or professional practice, apply scientific and pedagogical activity, as well as to conduct their own research, the results of which have scientific novelty, theoretical and practical significance.
