| Lecturers | Dominik Zumbühl (dominik.zumbuhl@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Building on the introductory condensed matter physics course from the fall semester, various more specialized topics from condensed matter physics will be explored. Each student picks a topic (from a list) and presents it to class (30 minutes talk plus discussion), with the goal of giving an introduction at a level that can be followed by the class. The slides (pdf) and a 2 page summary (pdf, from LaTeX) are to be handed in. No problem sets. |
| Learning objectives | - learn about a broad range of topics in condensed matter physics (more advanced compared to the introductory lecture of the fall semester) - presentation skills - discussion skills - literature search - reading original research papers |
| Bibliography | depending on topic chosen various books and original research papers. |
