Learning outcomes
The subject of the discipline is dimensional effects in nanomaterials of thin films, nanoparticles, nanopowders, and nanocomposites from ordered ferroics and multiferroics, low-dimensional systems, 2D semiconductors, graphene nanosystems.
The results of the study are knowledge of the basic physical mechanisms of dimensional effects of electrophysical properties of nanosystems and theoretical foundations of the phenomenological theory of phase transformations Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire, mastery of its methods. Masters will learn to apply variational methods to solve nonlinear differential equations such as Euler-Lagrange, analyze the spontaneous decrease in spatial and magnetic symmetry near the surface of a solid, calculate the hysteresis loops of electric current, charge, polarization, magnetization, and generalized susceptibility of thin films and nanoparticles of ferroic and multiferroic.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, consultations, practical classes, independent work
Assessment methods and criteria
The control is carried out according to the module-rating system, which consists of 2 content modules. The knowledge assessment system includes current, modular, and semester control of knowledge. Forms of current control: assessment of written independent assignments and tests performed by students during independent work. The student can receive a maximum of 60 points for performing independent tasks, oral answers, and additions to lectures. Modular control: checking independent tasks for solving problems and essays. The final semester control is conducted in the form of a joint exam (40 points). The exam ticket includes 3 theoretical questions (10 points each) and a task (10 points).
