Quantentransport: Theorie und Berechnung

What it is about

You will receive an introduction to modern theoretical methods for computer-based calculation of transport properties in materials and nanostructures. The focus is on electric charge transport and heat transport (phonons). In the end you will be able to understand the fundamentals of the theories and methods used, reproduce their application to simple systems, and interpret results.

What you will be able to do

• Understand and describe the physical fundamentals of modern transport calculations
• Demonstrate the possibilities and limitations of the methods discussed
• Independently apply and interpret the discussed methods to simple material and nanosystems

What the module consists of

• VorlesungExplanation and derivation of the methods, presentation of examples from theory and experiment, promotion of scientific discussion
• ÜbungDeepening of theoretical derivations and practical learning of computer-based transport calculations; development and discussion of results

Teaching method

• VorlesungStructured imparting of the methods, derivations and demonstration of results; integration into discussions to promote analytical-physical thinking
• ÜbungPractical training at computers, application of tools for conducting and evaluating transport calculations and discussion of the results
