prof. RNDr. Petr Dub, CSc.

Department

Institute of Physical Engineering (ÚFI)

Entry knowledge

Atomic Physics, Quantum Physics, Statistical Physics and Thermodynamics.

Completion of the course TF4.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The assessment of a student is made upon his performance in practice and quality of a discussion on topics selected at the examination (lecture notes allowed at preparation).
The presence of students at practice is obligatory and is monitored by a tutor. The way how to compensate missed practice lessons will be decided by a tutor depending on the range and content of the missed lessons.

Aims

The emphases will be put to qualitative analysis of physical phenomena, explanation of basic properties of solids using microscopic models and of physical principles of selected experimental methods common in research of materials.
The course facilitates a choice of a diploma project by a student, and make it possible to get basic knowledge on modern areas of physics.

Study aids

Not applicable.
