Advanced Practical Course M: Condensed Matter Physics

This Website is about the experiments in condensed matter physics of the Advanced Practical Courses M. General information about all the different Advanced Practical Courses M are located on the

• Website about the Mandatory Part of the master's curriculum

The Advanced Practical Courses M consist of the catogories: Atomic Physics, Biophysics, Solid State Physics,  Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics. In general, you will perform 4 experiments in two of these categories and you have to register for each of these categories separately.

In order to ensure a smooth and efficient run of the Advanced Practical Course you are asked to download this more detailed description of the regulations and to follow these instructions throughout the course.

Registrations in groups of 2-3 student are possible and welcome, but nevertheless each student has to register individually. The student who registers first receives a group code, which has to be entered during the registration of the other student(s) in order to join the same group.

• Registration via the database for the Advanced Practical Courses M

The Condensed Matter experiments M2.x are located in different laboratories of the II. Physikalisches Institut. In general, meet your tutors at the entrance of the II. Physikalisches Institut.

Please contact your tutors to arrange preliminary online meetings for each of your experiments. These meetings should take place about a week before the planned experiment in order to discuss the basic principles of the experiment. Thus, be well prepared about the basics of the respective experiment. In these preliminary meetings, also the organizational details concerning the on-site experiment are clarified, which differ depending on the individual experiments..

• M2.1: Specific heat of solids
• M2.3: Transport properties of Copper
• M2.4: Magnetization of a superconductor
• M2.5: High-temperature superconductors
• M2.6: Electron spin resonance
• M2.7: Fourier spectroscopy
• M2.8: Raman spectroscopy on solids
• M2.10: Ultrafast transient grating spectroscopy
