Physics: The Physics of Low-dimensional Structures and Quantum Devices

Education facts

Code: FYST79

<p>This course concerns artificial materials with substructure on the nanometer scale such that the electronic motion is restricted to two, one or zero dimensions. The emphasis is on semiconductor heterostructures but also other low-dimensional systems will be discussed. The concepts and the underlying theory are introduced based on quantum mechanics and extended by the application to heterostructures.</p>

Entry requirements

Admission to the course requires 75 credits in physics and 45 credits in mathematics, or a bachelor's degree in physics or equivalent - in both cases including knowledge equivalent to FYSB22 Basic Quantum Mechanics, 7.5 credits and FYSC23 Solid State Physics, 7.5 credits. Furthermore is required English 6/B and general entry requirements.

Education offerings

Each offering has its own dates and conditions. Closed offerings are retained as history and do not mean that a new application is open.
