Specialized Topics of Solid State Physics - SoSe2025

Dear Students,

welcome to the advanced seminar "Specialized Topics of Solid State Physics" in the summer term 2025. In this seminar, you will choose a topic of current research in the field of solid state physics.

With support from the lecturers, you'll prepare a talk on the chosen topic (45 min, 35+10) and present it in a seminar to all participants. An important part of this seminar are open discussions of the results and findings following each presentation. Therefore it is mandatory that all students are present in the seminars, even if they don't present themselves at the given date. You will then summarize the topic and the results of the discussion in a written expose, which has to be submitted within three weeks after the talk.

Details on the organization of the seminar will be discussed on monday, April 7th, at 3:15 pm in SR 221.

Best wishes,

Nabeel Aslam, Baha Sakar, Jan Meijer
