Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
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. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| 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 and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Basics of solid-state physics. Notions of electricity and wave optics. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| 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. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Lectures are delivered face-to-face. Material resources (slides, illustrations, videos) will be available on the eCampus platform. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| An electronic copy of the slides and instructions for the labs will be available on eCampus.
A list of recommended additional readings will be given during the introductory lecture. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| 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. |
