This course is an extension of the introductory course on solid state physics.The purpose of this course is to learn to navigate the complex collective quantum phases, excitations and phase transitionsthat are the dominant theme in modern solid state physics. The emphasis is on the main concepts and on specific experimentalexamples, both classic ones and those from recent research.

Implementation of experiments in condensed matter physics. Planning, design, realisation, evaluation, and interpretation of the experiments.

Students will be introduced to selected current "hot" topics of modern condensed matter physics research. We will discuss: conceptual questions, methods, interplay between experiment and theory.

The course provides an introduction to solid state physics, covering several topics that are later discussed in more detail in other more specialized lectures. The central topics are: solids and their lattice structures; interatomic bindings; lattice dynamics, electronic properties of insulators, metals, semiconductors, transport properties, and magnetism.

The seminar, which is taught by both natural and social scientists, uses current and historical case studies as well as empirical surveys to introduce the methods and results of studies on scientific wrongdoing. Ethics of sciences approaches to developing a set of best scientific practices are also discussed

Students will be introduced to selected current "hot" topics of modern condensed matter physics research. ( for topics please see "Inhalt"). We will discuss: conceptual questions, methods, interplay between experiment and theory.

Part A:Introduction to mechanics: kinematics, Newton's Laws, energy and momentum, rotation of solid bodies, movement in a central field, oscillations and waves.Part B: electrostatics, electric current, simple circuits, magnetic field, magnetic induction, Maxwell's equations, elements of optics.

The course treats the fundamental aspects of modern Electronics, Quantum mechanics and Atomic physics.

Physics in today's high-tech smartphone. Examples: network topology and scratch proof glass, spin-orbit coupling - brighter displays, GPS and general theory of relativity, electromagnetic response of matter (transparent metals for displays, GPS signal propagation), light-field cameras, CCD and CMOS light sensors, physics stops Moore's law, meta-materials for antennas, MEMS sensor physics, etc.
