Physics behind Modern Technologies
Physik hinter modernen Technologien
This course belongs to MAS SHE programme for physics. Based on the example of solar cells various concepts of physics are discussed, which are necessary to understand the functioning of solar cells.
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.

The lecture covers the concepts of classical and quantum statistical physics. The discussion ranges from foundations to specific systems, including their formalisms and techniques, such as bosonic and fermionic gases, and magnetism. Phenomena, most notably phase transitions, are treated by methods such as exact solutions, mean-field approximations, and the renormalization group.
Superconductivity: thermodynamics, London and Pippard theory; Ginzburg-Landau theory: spontaneous symmetry breaking, flux quantization, type I and II superconductors; microscopic BCS theory: electron-phonon mechanism, Cooper pairing, quasiparticle spectrum, thermodynamics and response to magnetic fields. Josephson effect: superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID) and other applications.

This course offers an introduction to unconventional superconductivity along a microscopic and a phenomenological line, based on the generalized BCS and Ginzburg-Landau theory, respectively. Concepts of symmetry and topology are essential to characterize different superconducting phases together with their experimental signatures which will be discussed for specific exemplary material classes.
