Prerequisites
Former courses in physics.Intended learning outcomes
The aim of the course is that the student shall develop skills in planning, conducting and presenting a scientific project, while increasing his/her understanding of selected research areas within nano science. The projects are well defined sub projects within currently ongoing research at IFM. After completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe one research area (specific for the course) within nano science
- conduct a scientific research project within nano science
- analyze and evaluate the project in the light of the current research frontier
- present the project in writing in the form of a short scientific paper
- present as well as defend the project orally
- be the opponent of a similar project.
Course content
The following will be part of the course:
- a survey of ongoing research at IFM
- research methods and research strategies
- handling a research project (CDIO)
- how to perform a literature survey
- the basics of writing a scientific paper
- how to prepare a scientific presentation.
- associated theory
- measurement and/or computational principles
- methods for evaluation of measured or calculated data
- principles of documentation.
The student is expected to (under supervision) attain an increased understanding of the research area prior to lab exercises.
Teaching and working methods
All participants will meet regularly in the lectures and seminars of the course. In parallel, project work will be performed in groups of 2-3 students, under the guidance of a researcher from IFM. Individual work is performed mainly during literature studies and paper writing, the latter partly under supervision.
The course runs over the entire autumn semester.
