    Selected Topics in Physics - seminar with discussion groups and presentations of the participants.

    Tracking functional processes in realtime - during operation - can now be realized for many biological and inorganic systems using advanced spectroscopic methods. This approach has been termed operando spectroscopy. We will start with a round of introductory group presentations and joint discussions focussing on the spectroscopic basics,  followed by individual presentations on topical research in the areas of (i) biophysics and (ii) the CO₂-neutral production of "green" hydrogen as well as carbon-based fuels.

    Kommentar

    Welcome to your study of AMol Physics! This lecture will give you an introduction to a wide range of topics in the mentioned field and can be seen as the starting point for a successful master or Ph.D. thesis. After a repetition of the main aspects of atomic structure we will move to molecules and will present Born-Oppenheimer approximation, molecular orbital and valence bond theories, polyatomic systems with Hückel approximation and self-consistent field calculations (Hartree-Fock formalism and DFT). The lecture will continue with a selection of experimental methods that are used to determine molecular structure and dynamics: vibrational spectroscopy and normal mode analysis, electronic spectroscopy (chromophores, exciton coupling, two-photon absorption), fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging techniques, NMR spectroscopy (chemical shift, scalar coupling, AX, AB and A2 spectra, NOE and multidimensional NMR), EPR spectroscopy with double resonance techniques, and aspects of intermolecular interactions as ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, van der Waals or hydrogen bond.

    Kommentar

    The field of magnetic nanostructures and spin transport has continuously spawned highly valued discoveries over the past years and is still  under a rapid and lively development. Fundamental research in this field is fueled by the vision of dissipationless information processing when using pure spin currents instead of elecronic charge currents like in conventional semiconductor electronics. Top-level publications from this field receive thus an enormous degree of attention.

    This lecture will lead from an introduction into the basics of spin and magnetism in reduced dimensions to some of the most fascinating recent examples of actual research. It will cover the following contents:

    • Quantum-mechanical description of spin
    • Magnetic anisotropy
    • Molecular magnetism
    • Spin currents and spin injection
    • Pure spin currents
    • Spin caloritronics
    • Magnetoresistance effects and spintronics
    • Antiferromagnetic spintronics
    • Magnetic domains and domain-wall motion
    • Topological spin structures
    • Magnetization dynamics
    • Spin waves

    The topics covered match well to the research focus of several of the experimental and theoretical work groups of the department.

    This lecture focusses on spectroscopic methods used to investigate molecular systems (mainly) in condensed phase. Light-matter interaction will be discussed to understand linear and non-linear spectroscopic methods. Frequency conversion methods will be introduced and pump-probe and 2D spectroscopic methods will be discussed as examples.

    There is hardly an area of our global, technological and social life in which artificial intelligence, data and algorithms do not play a role. When we talk about artificial intelligence, data and algorithms, we often focus on the ways in which these new technologies can support us. Think, for example, of how big data can help detect or even prevent certain diseases at an early stage. In the face of these great possibilities, we often forget that the technologies we are dealing with are all but neutral. They are always linked to relations of power and are loaded with sexism, racism and other forms of exclusion.

    In order to conceptualise AI, data and algorithms in ways that are as non-discriminatory as possible, it is therefore crucial to consider the following questions: Who develops what (and for whom)? Who can make which decisions? Which aims are pursued in which developments and which are, in turn, excluded? In the seminar, we will look at current debates on AI, data, algorithm and power and discuss examples (facial recognition systems, social credit system, predictive policing, etc.) from an ethical, feminist, and intersectional perspective.

    There is growing awareness that a scientist's gender can have an impact on a career in physics, even though it should have no influence. This applies also for ethnicity or national background, social background, and other social characteristics. In the seminar you will learn about research that addresses issues of gender and diversity in physics and related fields. We will discuss research on the cultures of physics, on knowledge making practices in physics and on epistemological issues in science.

    Kommentar

    Information theory usually abstracts from the underlying physical carriers of information: There is no "hard-drive information" any different from "newspaper information". This is because one type of information can be transformed into another one in a lossless fashion, and hence the actual physical carrier does not matter when it comes to thinking about what ways of processing of information are possible. Things change dramatically, however, if single quantum systems - such as trapped ions, cold atoms, or light quanta - are taken as elementary carriers of information. This course will give an introduction into what is possible pursuing this idea. We will discuss applications of quantum key distribution (allowing for the secure transmission of information), quantum computing (giving rise to computers that can solve some problems faster than conventional supercomputers), quantum simulation (allowing to simulate other complex quantum systems) and sensing devices. For this, we will develop the underlying quantum information theory, with notions of entanglement taking center stage. These applications are subsumed into what is now often called quantum technologies. Specific emphasis will finally be put onto elaborating on the intersection of quantum information theory on the one hand and condensed-matter physics on the other, where new perspectives arise.

    Kommentar

    This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the total scattering method, an advanced analytical technique used to explore atomic-scale structures in crystalline and non-crystalline materials. Total scattering bridges the gap between traditional crystallography and amorphous material analysis, offering insights into both long-range order and local structural irregularities.

    Participants will learn the fundamental principles of total scattering, including pair distribution function (PDF) analysis and diffuse scattering techniques. The course emphasizes practical applications in materials science, chemistry, and physics, highlighting how this method can be used to study defects, disordered systems, nanoparticles, and complex functional materials.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • Fundamentals of X-ray, neutron, and electron total scattering
    • Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analysis: theory and application
    • Understanding diffuse scattering in ordered and disordered systems
    • Instrumentation and data acquisition techniques
    • Advanced data analysis and modeling approaches
    • Applications to emerging materials, including amorphous solids, nanomaterials, and hybrid systems

    The course is ideal for graduate students, researchers, and professionals seeking to expand their expertise in structural analysis techniques beyond conventional crystallography.

    Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of crystallography, diffraction techniques, and materials science is recommended but not required.

    Many properties and functionalities of modern devices are governed by fundamental processes like quasiparticle interactions, interfacial transport or lattice vibrations. Naturally occurring on ultrafast timescales, a detailed understanding of these fundamental processes requires femtosecond (1 fs = 10^(-15) s) time-resolved techniques. This lecture will introduce state-of-the-art ultrafast methods for studying solid-state systems, based on fs table-top and free-electron lasers, such as optical, electron- and x-ray-based techniques. Based on this, the most recent progress in the understanding and manipulation of non-equilibrium physics of advanced condensed matter systems, ranging from low-dimensional structures and semiconductors, to complex quantum materials, will be discussed.

    Many properties and functionalities of modern devices are governed by fundamental processes like quasiparticle interactions, interfacial transport or lattice vibrations. Naturally occurring on ultrafast timescales, a detailed understanding of these fundamental processes requires femtosecond (1 fs = 10^(-15) s) time-resolved techniques. This lecture will introduce state-of-the-art ultrafast methods for studying solid-state systems, based on fs table-top and free-electron lasers, such as optical, electron- and x-ray-based techniques. Based on this, the most recent progress in the understanding and manipulation of non-equilibrium physics of advanced condensed matter systems, ranging from low-dimensional structures and semiconductors, to complex quantum materials, will be discussed.

    Advanced optics: summary

    Light is ubiquitous in daily life and a powerful tool in natural sciences. This lecture course will provide an introduction into the principles and applications of modern optics. Questions that will be addressed are for example: What are light waves, light rays and surface plasmon polaritons? How can we describe light propagation in matter? Why are evanescent waves useful in touch pads? What is the diffraction limit in microscopy and how can it be overcome? How can ultrashort laser pulses take movies of the vibration of molecules and precession of spins?

     A rough outline of the lecture course is as follows:

    • Maxwell equations, light-matter interaction, wave optics
    • Plane waves: reflection, refraction, polarization
    • Light beams: diffraction limit, Fourier optics, Gaussian beams
    • Femtosecond lasers and nonlinear optics

    In the exercises, the course topics will be illustrated by practical examples, both analytical and numerical using the Python package.

    The module provides an introduction to biophysical research on photosynthesis by plant and cyanobacteria, a process that has shaped the Earth's atmosphere and biosphere. Basic concepts and experimental methods are introduced that relate directly to topical research questions. Aside from biological photosynthesis also artificial photosynthesis for carbon-neutral fuel production will discussed.

    The lecture will be supplemented by laboratory exercises in which basic and advanced biophysical experiments in photosynthesis research will be presented and discussed by the two instructors and graduate students in their groups.

    Kommentar

    How do we understand “science”? What counts as scientific knowledge and why? What are the historical origins of modern science? How have new scientific disciplines emerged? How are sciences shaped by social contexts? This kind of questions stand in focus of the interdisciplinary field of “Science Studies” which examines the social, cultural and political aspects of knowledge production in science. The course introduces to approaches, concepts and methods of Science Studies for the natural sciences, putting a special focus on the physical sciences. The course is aimed at students of physics and other natural sciences. Interested students of the humanities and social sciences are also welcome.
