Teaching methods
The students are required to possess the basic knowledge of solid state physics. It consists of a first part of lessons on fundamental arguments (see the program) and a second part on seminars on specialized arguments.
Assessment methods and criteria
The final test consists in a seminar on a specialized argument and a discussion on the fundamental arguments.
