Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Known the mathematical formulation and physical content of basic physical principles and laws of physics of optical and photoelectric phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures, basic theoretical and experimental approaches to consider this class of phenomena, main modern achievements of physics of optical and photoelectric phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures and their application in various fields of science and production.
Course content
The course "Physics of optical and photoelectric phenomena in nanostructures" examines modern experimental and theoretical advances in the study of optical and photoelectric phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures. The purpose of studying the discipline is to master the basic laws of absorption and scattering of light and photoelectric phenomena caused by nonequilibrium charge carriers in semiconductor nanostructures.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures - 30 hours, Self-study -60 hours, consultations.
Assessment methods and criteria
Interviews during the lecture, checking other forms of independent work. Modular tests. Final test. Two modular tests: (28-46) points. Independent work: (8-14) points. A student is not allowed to take the final test if he / she scored less than 36 points during the semester. The grade for the final test cannot be less than 24 points to get an overall positive grade for the course.
