Solid state physics

This lecture gives an introduction to Solid State Physics. We will treat crystal structure, lattice vibrations, electronic properties, electric and heat conductance, as well as magnetic properties. The level is the one of the book by Ashcroft & Mermin.

Frontiers in nanosciences

The course covers relevant experimental and theoretical concepts in nanoscale science, from fundamental aspects like quantum tunneling and quantum size effects, to hot topics like quantum transport and nanoscale magnetism.

Spintronics : basics and applications

Starting from fundamentals of magnetism, the course develops the concepts required to understand and describe reading and writing processes of a magnetic bit. Similarities and differences between classical and quantum systems are addressed.
