Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Laboratory Work
Learning outcomes
An introduction to the main methods of studying solids.
Students will acquire the skills to perform measurements and experiments in the field of solid-state physics. They will gain an overview of the measurement methods used. At the same time, they will learn how to create the necessary conditions (temperature, vacuum) for conducting measurements.
