Winter semester 2023 / 2024
Seminar on Phase Change Materials
Wednesday 16:00 - 17:30
Place: Seminarroom 619, IG 1, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10
Students who wish to participate in this seminar must register in Learnweb before Monday, October 10th, 9 AM. Attending the introductory event taking place on Wednesday, October 11th, 16:00 PM (s.t.), is mandatory. This seminar is mainly aimed at students in the Master's program. However, it is also open to ambitous Bachelor students in their final year, who want to deepen their knowledge of the structure of matter.
Seminar: Materials for energy conversion and storage
Monday 15:30 - 16:30 (Preliminary meeting, 9th October, room 719, IG1)
Wednesday 14:00 - 15:30
Place: Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10 - IG1 619
The efficient conversion of energy in different energy forms and the energy storage are grant challenges of the 21st century. Up to now our energy needs are still mainly covered by fossil fuel resources, i.e., solar energy that is stored during hundreds of millions of years. The seminar covers in a series of talks, which will be presented by students, the fundamental physical and chemical aspects of energy conversion and storage. Preliminary titles for oral presentations: semiconductor solar cells, solar electrochemistry, solar thermal energy, energy storage, thermoelectric energy conversion, thermoelectric modules, hydrogen storage, fuel cells.
Shortterm Research Project in Labs of Prof. Salinga
Tuesday 10.10.2023, 14:00
Place: Seminaroom 619, IG 1, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10
A deeper understanding of a subject can be achieved by working on a project as it is typical for both academic and industrial research. Hence, in the Physical Specializations Materials Physics, Photonics and Magnonics, and Nonlinear Physics, it is possible to choose such a learning format. In a mini research project a student works on a small research task. In contrast to a prepared lab course, here a student contributes to the solution of a real problem addressed by the research group of Prof. Salinga. Students are immersed in a research team collaborating closely with more experienced scientists. This work will be concluded by a seminar talk about this project given by the student. Topic, time and duration can be very flexible (5 credit points / 150 hours) and will be agreed upon together with Prof. Salinga.
