Course unit content

Advanced experimental techniques for the electrical description of materials. Illustration of these techniques, and the study of the physical laws on which they are based, with particular regard to the measurement of electrical transport in metals and semiconductors, and the phenomena of dielectric relaxation in pure and doped insulators. <br />
Advanced experimental techniques for the magnetic description of materials. Illustration of these techniques, and the study of the physical laws on which they are based. Detailed examination of traditional magnetometric techniques. Study of the properties examined using electronic and nuclear magnetic resonance both in strong (iron, anti-iron, etc.) and weak (diamagnetic, paramagnetic) magnetic systems. Correlation with the information that can be obtained from neutron diffusion. <br />
Advanced experimental techniques for the optical description of materials. Illustration of these techniques, and the study of the physical laws on which they are based. The analysis of the optical constants of materials and their status within the general properties of their response to electromagnetic excitation. Traditional optical techniques and the latest developments in high-resolution energetic analysis by means of laser or synchrotron radiation. <br />
