Elektronen in niedrig-dimensionalen Strukturen

What it is about

You learn how electrons behave in solids when their mobility is confined to a few dimensions. The module covers band structure, quantum and surface states, nanostructures (quantum films, wires, dots), experimental methods, and transport phenomena up to Coulomb blockade and quantized transport effects.

What you will be able to do

• Understand physical laws for electrons in solids
• Recognize the effects of reduced dimensionality on electronic properties
• Assess the significance of electron confinement effects for nanostructures
• Assess the potential of confinement effects for applications and devices

What the module consists of

• VorlesungPresentation of thematic content, building cross-links and promoting analytical-physical thinking
• ÜbungDeepening through calculation tasks and problem examples, training for independent application of what is learned
• LaborbesucheInsight into experimental techniques (part of the teaching; visits to the TUM)

Teaching method
