Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will receive practical skills when detecting particle beams and measuring their parameters. They will master the theory of spectroscopic methods, measurement of semiconductor characteristics, as well as different ways of alpha, beta and gamma-ray waves generation and law of propagations.

Prerequisites

Students are expected to have the following knowledge and skills when they begin the course: a) mathematics: ability to solve mathematical problems up to the level of differential and integral equations, b) physics: active solution of problems in fields of electromagnetism, solid-state physics and statistical physics. Ability to compile a mathematical description of physical problems.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Every student will work out a report regarding his/her results and measurement related to each twelve missions. Graded-course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having achieved at least three quarters of the maximum number of points.

Course curriculum

The course curriculum is identical to the list of the experiments.

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

The practical is a follow-up to the courses Physical Laboratory I and Physical Laboratory II where tudents acquired the theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The main aim is to deepen their skills in the field of the solid-state physics. The students will be provided with a theoretical background for this field. The experimental results will be used to verify and build up the acquired knowledge.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at practicals is checked by the teacher. Missed lesson may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher.
