Learning outcomes
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.
Form of study
Distance form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
- knowledge of methods of classical electrodynamics, optics, quantum mechanics, experimental and theoretical methods of crystal spectroscopy and molecular spectroscopy; - ability to quantitatively analyze and interpret spectral information obtained from the spectra of absorption, scattering and photoluminescence, to draw conclusions about the dominant physical mechanisms that determine the optical spectra of the studied systems; use theoretical analytical methods and computer modeling methods to calculate the electronic optical spectra of nanostructures.
Course content
The discipline belongs to the list of disciplines of free choice of graduate student. Due to their unique physical properties, nanoscale structures currently occupy a significant niche both in basic research and in a number of applied and technological applications. The course will consider the physical principles of analysis of the properties of low-dimensional systems and the state of modern research and applications of nanostructures in electronics, photonics, laser technology.
