Learning Outcomes
Competences
After successfully completing the course, students are able to describe basic and advanced concepts from selected topics from the fields of optics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and solid state physics, e.g. wave optics, interference, polarization, kinetic gas theory, quantum phenomena, Schrödinger equation, Bloch theorem - band structure, insulator - metal - semiconductor conductivity, to apply the ways of thinking and solution methods of physics, and to transfer these to concrete physical systems. This lecture is methodically supplemented by the optional exercise Physikalische Grundlagen der Mechatronik
Skills Knowledge
By attending the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to

  • understand and explain fundamental concepts and phenomena in optics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and solid state physics (k1/k2);
  • formulate and interpret physical laws and theories in a precise and analytical manner (k3);
  • apply the principles of optics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and solid state physics to other advanced physical problems (k3).
During the course, students acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of optics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and solid state physics:

  • Waves and wave phenomena (transverse and longitudinal waves, classical wave equation);
  • Optics (electromagnetic waves in vacuum, light in matter (speed of light, absorption, scattering, beam optics, interference and diffraction));
  • Elements of quantum mechanics (heat radiation, Planck's constant, photon as a particle, wave - particle - dualism, uncertainty principle, stimulated emission and lasers, basic concepts of quantum mechanics, basic concepts of quantum mechanics, hydrogen atom and hydrogen molecule ion);
  • Introduction to solid state physics (structure of solid bodies, Bloch theorem and energy bands of electrons, metals, semiconductors)
