Physics laboratory V

Students perform guided-inquiry experiments in the field of condensed matter.
Students will have the opportunity to develop higher-order skills by doing research based mini- projects. Experiments of this nature provide students with the opportunity to solve problems, apply concepts, formulate hypotheses and allow metacognition.

/

• Solar cell characterization.
• Photoemission experiment on solid surfaces.
• Fluorescence experiments.

By the end of this course students will gain knowledge on how to plan and perform complex experiment including these steps:

• literature search, preparation of mini-research project proposal
• measurement and computerized data collection
• data analysis, comparison with mathematical models and/or data available in literature
• writting a research report
• analysis defense of results

For each experiments will be given relevant literature.

• Delivered reports
• Oral defense of reports
