The aim of this course is to introduce students to experimental research in condensed matter physics. The course is based on the student's participation (under the guidance of a mentor) in a current research project using modern experimental techniques. The research with the techniques currently not available in Zagreb (e.g. synchrotron radiation, thermal neutrons, etc) is also possible. In order to acquire a broader insight into contemporary research, students participate in the work of the laboratories that are not related to his planned doctoral research. Accordingly, the course covers a lot of research topics in contemporary solid state physics and broad spectrum of experimental methods. In particular, students can study the systems of central interest in solid state physics (e.g. atomic monolayers, nanoparticles and nanostructures, molecular/nano magnets, self-organizing and low-dimensional materials, soft matter, etc.) and use numerous advanced microscopic (e.g. diffraction of waves and particles, spectroscopy covering broad frequency ranges, STM, AFM, magnetic resonances, etc) and macroscopic (transport of charge and heat, thermodynamic and magnetic measurements, etc.) research techniques. The advanced methods for sample preparation (e.g. single crystals, thin and thick films. amorphous alloys, ceramics and composites, nanoparticles and nanostructures, etc.), processing and characterization are also available.
