| Holder(s) : | Ngoc Duy Nguyen |
|
| Language : | English language |
|
| Course contents : | In this course, experimental methods for the characterization of electronic and optical properties of materials and interfaces will be reviewed. A detailed description will be presented for some of them and their practical implementation will be discussed. |
|
| Course objective : | Description and analysis of experimental methods for the characterization of electronic and optical properties of materials and interfaces :
- Optical absorption
- Photoluminescence
- Electroluminescence
- Spectroscopic ellipsometry
- Transient photoconductivity
- Admittance spectroscopy
- ... |
|
| Prerequisites : | Basics of solid-state physics. Notions of electricity and wave optics. |
|
| Workshops : | Lab assignments : after getting familiar with the experimental setups, the student will have to perform the full characterization of unknown samples using various optical and electrical methods and report the results of the investigation in a written document. |
|
| Organization : | Course and labs are given during the second semester. |
|
| Written notes : | Slides of the lectures, lab notes. |
|
| Assessment : | The lab assignment report is the major part of the evaluation. The other part will consist in the analysis and the discussion of a selected journal paper. The student will be tested on the experimental techniques used in the paper. |
