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 students understand the relevant experimental and theoretical concepts of nanoscale science. The course covers basic concepts like quantum size effects and their characterization techniques, and hot fields like nanoscale magnetism and spintronics for data storage applications, and 2D materials.
Spintronics : basics and applications
The course introduces the concepts necessary to understand and describe the reading and writing process of a magnetic bit. Similarities and differences between a classical and a quantum bit are addressed.
