Magnetic Resonance Imaging 1 [MRI1] -
- Lecturers:
- Frederik Laun, Andreas Maier, Armin Nagel
- Details:
- Vorlesung, 2 cred.h, ECTS: 2,5, In der Vorlesung werden ausführlich die physikalischen und technischen Grundlagen der MRT behandelt. Es werden der technische Aufbau eines MRTs und die physikalischen Grundlagen behandelt. Das Prinzip der Datenaufnahme wird anhand verschiedener Beispiele erläutert. Fehlkodierungen bei der Datenaufnahme führen zu Bildartefakten, die sich nicht in allen Fällen vermeiden lassen. Strategien zur Erkennung und Vermeidung von Bildartefakten werden erläutert. Eine große Stärke der MRT in der medizinischen Diagnostik ist die Möglichkeit Bilder mit verschiedenen Kontrasten und funktionelle Gewebeparameter aufzunehmen. Die Entstehung der häufig verwendeten T1 und T2 gewichteten Bildkontraste wird ausführlich diskutiert. Des Weiteren werden verschiedene MRT-Sequenztechniken besprochen.
- Dates:
- Fri, 14:00 - 16:00, Hörsaal ZMPT

Experimental physics of modern materials (B): Photophysics [EPM-MAT, PW] -
- Lecturer:
- Daniel Niesner
- Details:
- Vorlesung, ECTS: 5
- Dates:
- Mon, 8:30 - 10:00, Aufzeichnung auf FAU-Videoportal

- Prerequisites / Organisational information:
- The lecture series will be given as an asynchronous online class, i.e. in the form of videos with recorded learning units that will be available via the FAU vide portal. Complementary slides and written summaries of the lectures will be available online via the studon portal. The exercise class will be held live online.
This course will discuss the basic photophysical processes involved in and following the optical excitation of materials. Experimental techniques will be introduced to characterize these processes, which involve the optical absorption of light, the subsequent energetic carrier relaxation, phototransport, and carrier recombination. The functionality and performance of a large number of optoelectronic components, such as solar cell absorbers, photodetectors, or emitter materials for light-emitting diodes, rely on different combinations of these steps. While they can, in principle, be observed in a large variety of condensed-matter systems, their dynamics differ strongly between bulk direct and indirect band semiconductors, (quantum) confined systems, or materials with strong carrier localization, which can arise from exciton or polaron formation. The spectroscopic and time-resolved techniques, which are commonly applied to characterize the responses of these different systems to photoexcitation, will be introduced. These include both optical and electron spectroscopy techniques.

Structure of crystalline matter II (elective course) [PW KristMat] -
- Lecturer:
- Reinhard Neder
- Details:
- Vorlesung, 2 cred.h, ECTS: 5, nur Fachstudium, The class will take place on-site in the Seminarroom You can join the StudOn course directly until Nov. 30
- Dates:
- Tue, 8:30 - 10:00, SR Staudtstr. 3
- Fields of study:
- WF Ph-BA ab 5
WF Ph-MA ab 1
WF PhM-BA ab 5
WPF PhM-MA ab 1
- Prerequisites / Organisational information:
- The elective course 'Structure of crystalline matter II' builds on the content of the elective course 'Structure on crystalline matter I'
where symmetry aspects and classification of ordered, crystalline matter is in the focus of the lecture. Basic aspects of X-ray scattering are as well taught in this elective course I. Students choosing elective course II should be familiar with the aspects of symmetry in the crystalline state, with the concept of the reciprocal lattice and the Ewald construction.

- Contents:
- The course 'Structure of crystalline matter II' deals with experimental X-ray scattering techniques, for studies on single crystals as well as on polycrystalline matter, which are used to extract structure information from crystalline matter.
A focus here will be on powder diffraction methods and data evaluation.
The different experimental methods will be presented in detail and selected applications will be explained.
To start with, a short introduction into the scattering of x-rays by matter will be given.

- At first the students will get an introduction to ground-based gamma-ray astronomy and will then use this knowledge for analysing real data sets by themselves. Modern analysis software will be used for this purpose. The final grade will be based on a written practical assignment that sums up the results obtained in the data analysis. This write-up is intended to resemble a publication in a scientific journal.
Activites include:
Overview of particles in cosmic rays Introduction to ground-based gamma-ray astronomy with imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) Observation of gamma-ray sources Understanding the steps from raw data to calibrated data Analysis of data with modern software packages Evaluate data quality Interpretation of results Writing a scientific publication
