Experimental methods in materials research (IMPRS-UFAST focus course)

This course will provide an overview of
selected techniques used to probe the microscopic properties of condensed
matter. The course will cover the use of these methods at steady
state
as well as their extension to transient measurements of non-equilibrium
phenomena in condensed matter.

Key topics:

Nonlinear
optics / symmetry of
materials
/ angle
resolved photo-emission / band structure of solids / infrared optical
spectroscopy / dynamical conductivity / scanning tunneling microscopy / density of states
/ magnetism
