Course objectives
The course offers laboratory exercises on advanced experimental techniques in solid state physics with the emphasis on semiconductors.

Based on the students own experience, the goal of this course is to provide the students with the ability to
- list and describe the selected experimental techniques in condensed matter physics
- apply these methods to measurements of particular phenomena
- analyse and physically interpret the measured data.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able after the the course:
- independently use the experimental setups
- evaluate the measurements, determine random errors and estimate their systematic errors
- explain the physical prinicples of measurements and the observed phenomena
- recommend a particular type of experiment in order to determine a given property of material
- write a report on the measurement in the form common in scientific literature
