Prerequisites and co-requisites
The educational discipline "Applied Physics and Electronics" is based on the cycle of disciplines of professional and practical bachelor's training, namely: "General Physics", "Solid State Physics", "Theoretical Physics", "Differential and Integral Equations". Prerequisites: 1. the student must know: the basic laws, equations and relations of the course of general physics, the course of solid state physics, the course of theoretical physics, the course of linear algebra, the course of differential and integral equations. 2. the student should be able to: build physical models of real systems both in the approximation of classical physics and within the limits of quantum theory, identify the main approximations to simplify the mathematical formulation of the created models. 3. the student should know: the basic foundations of the theory of solid-state and vacuum electronic devices, the main modes of operation and operating parameters.
Course content
Studying the discipline "Applied Physics and Electronics" allows you to understand and master the physical principles of modern electronics and prospective directions of its development. The main types of active electronic devices for processing, storing and transmitting information are considered, as in in analog and digital form, namely the physical principle of operation, basic operating parameters, methods of modeling and system integration. In particular, during the course, students study the most important quantum phenomena of mesoscopic physics, which can be the basis of promising electronic devices of the next generations. In particular, these are quantum dimensional effects, superconductivity, topological features of the electronic structure of a solid body. In addition to electronics itself, sufficient attention is paid to sensors, since various sensors can serve as an interface between electronic circuits for processing and transmitting information and electromagnetic, acoustic, thermal fields, etc. The latest materials, as well as technologies for their production, are considered, in particular, nanostructured materials, two-dimensional materials, molecular materials, based on which the possibility of creating new electronic devices is being considered. The work program also considers practical aspects of the application of electronic devices and sensors in a wide range of industries, such as information technology, medicine, green energy, the defense sector, etc.

Lectures, practical, independent work.
Assessment methods and criteria
The level of achievement of all planned learning outcomes is determined by the results of written test papers. Final evaluation - in the form of credit; the form of assessment is written and oral. In total, you can get from 0 to 40 points for the credit. The condition for achieving a positive grade for the discipline is to obtain at least 60 points, while the grade for the credit cannot be less than 24 points. The condition for admission to the credit is that the student receives a total of no less than the critical-calculated minimum for the semester - 36 points.
