Nanoscience II

The course introduces the basic concepts and theories of low-dimensional physics with a focus on charge transport in structures on the nanometer scale. Starting from established theory in solid state physics and semiconductur physics, the course covers the effects that appear when the dimensions and length scales diminish, which makes the semiclassic theory of electron dynanmics no longer relevant.

Progressive specialisation: A1F (has second‐cycle course/s as entry requirements)

Education level: Master's level

Admission requirements: Physics, 50 ECTS credits, including Nanoscience I, 7.5 ECTS credits, Mathematics, 35 ECTS credits, and registered for Quantum Physics II, 7.5 ECTS credits, and Physical Electronics, 7.5 ECTS credits, plus upper secondary level English 6 or English level 2, or equivalent

Selection: Selection is usually based on your grade point average from upper secondary school or the number of credit points from previous university studies, or both.
