Welcome to the Canvas information page for the course 

The Physics of Low-dimensional Structures and Quantum Devices, 7.5 credits

given by the Department of Physics.

Contents​​

This course concerns artificial materials with substructure on the nanometer scale such that the electronic motion is restricted to two, one or zero dimensions. The emphasis is on semiconductor heterostructures but also other low-dimensional systems will be discussed. The concepts and the underlying theory are introduced based on quantum mechanics and extended by the application to heterostructures.

After the lecture part of the course is completed, the student will work on a project within a research group for about 1,5 weeks. The project work will be presented orally as well as in writing.

The course consists of three modules:

  1. Exam, 4 credits
  2. Project, 2 credits
  3. Laboratory Exercises, 1.5 credits
