Learning outcomes
Gaining knowledge of the basic physical effects and phenomena, characteristic of systems with reduced dimensions, as well as modern methods of creating and studying nanostructures.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Knowledge gained in the course of general physics, courses in theoretical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, solid state physics and semiconductor physics. Knowledge of mathematical disciplines - mathematical analysis, linear algebra, theory of functions of a complex variable.
Course content
The course "Physics of Nanostructures" outlines a range of issues that form the basis of modern physical models that can be used to describe nanostructures, methods of their creation and study. The aim of the discipline is to obtain deep and systematic knowledge of nanostructure physics, which includes a range of issues that form the basis of modern physical models that can be used to describe nanostructures such as semiconductor quantum wells, quantum filaments, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene and graphene. Also to describe the main physical effects and phenomena characteristic of systems with reduced dimensions.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures - 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. Credit. Two modular tests: (15-30) points. A student is not allowed to take the credit if he / she scored less than 36 points during the semester. The grade for the credit cannot be less than 24 points to get an overall positive grade for the course.
