Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
  • Biophysics (programme PřF, N-FY)
  • Biophysics (programme PřF, N-FY, specialization Aplikovaná biofyzika)
  • Biophysics (programme PřF, N-FY, specialization Molekulární biofyzika)
Course objectives
The goal ofthe lecture is the provide the students with the knowledge on basic interaction of the living matter with electromagnetic field. The chosen topics exclude radiofrequency interactions (NMR) and ionising radiation (CT), since these are in detail covered by other courses at MU.
Learning outcomes
After passing the course students should be able to:
- list and describe basic interactions of electromagnetic field with living matter
- design and conduct simulation of optical response of a layered structure
- disscuss the techniques of electrochemical preparation of nanoscale strucutred surfaces
Syllabus
  • Electromanetic aspects of live matter (2 weeks): equilibrium distances, charge screening, Mulliken charges in a molecule
  • Thermal response of tissues (3 týdny): microscopic view - vibrations, capacity of heat; macroscopic view - heat conduction, perfusion, microwave hypertermia.
  • Electric response of membranes (2 weeks): nerve impulses, model of Hodgkin and Huxleye
  • Optical response of (bio)molecules (4 weeks): vibrational spectroscopy, plasmonic resonance, interaction in the nanoscale
  • Electrochemical plating (2 týdny, doc. Hrbáč): basic facts, preparation of nanostructured surfaces
Teaching methods
lecture, practice, computer simulations
Assessment methods
The credits will be awarded after oral discussion including computer simulation of hte student.
Language of instruction
Czech
