Quantum Materials Science
This course hopes to provide the student with sufficient knowledge to enjoy quantum materials growth and analysis at the frontiers of quantum materials science.
Discover a range of interesting quantum materials and their unique functionalities. Learn about the concept of materials design and its realization in bulk single crystal growth and epitaxial thin film growth. Learn the principles of single particle spectroscopy, particularly focusing on photoemission and tunneling spectroscopy. Experience quantum materials growth and characterization in the laboratory. Discuss and make presentations on recent literature.
