The overarching theme of condensed Matter Phaysics Seminar is:
Questions to Condensed Matter (and how to solve them with scattering methods)
The main idea is to increase your expertise on state of the art techniques on experimental scattering techniquies in condensed Matter Physics. We'd like you to tell us what we should know to start solving the posed questions.
The second goal is to practice good presentation, including discussing the presented approaches. To realize this give and take we hope the Seminar will be in presence (3G).
Talk topics (methods, supervisors, emails)
To select a topic, please, send an e-mail as soon as possible to palberg@uni-mainz.de

To select a topic, please, send an e-mail as soon as possible to palberg@uni-mainz.de
Please indicate 2-4 preferences. Topics are assigned on a first-come first-served basis and confirmed via mail as soon as assigned.
Once your chosen topic has been confirmed, please contact your supervisor for a meeting date and materials.
Please make sure, you also register for this course via Jogustine.
Boundary conditions:
1. Your supervisors are happy to assist you in talk preparation and answer all scientific and layout questions. That's why they are academics.
2. Contact the supervisor of the seminar as soon as possible, at least 4 weeks before the assigned lecture date! You may have an early date!
3. Discussion of the first draft of the lecture at least 2 weeks before the lecture.
4. Test talk with supervisor at least 1 week before the lecture date.
5. Presentations are in English and should have a length of 30 minutes. There will be a scientific and a style discussion afterwards.
6.. Attendance and participation in our discussion is mandatory.
7. Marks will be based on content and presentation style, as well as on performance in scientific discussion.
8. We suggest to prepare a handout to be distributed before the talk. (two page max) This is for the audience, to have the main points to be remembered.
i.e. key terms, sentences and formulae to assist the scientific discussion and used literature for reference.
If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact Thomas Palberg or Hans Joachim Elmers

Condensed Matter Physics Master Seminar SS2022:
Questions to Condensed Matter (and how to solve them with scattering methods)
Scattering methods are fundamental to many areas of physics ranging from aerosol sampling to the form factor of the proton. Within Condensed Matter systems typically comprise many particles (of order N_A) and thus allow to study interactions, many body effects and collective dynamics by scattering methods. Depending on the question at hand, it is extremely useful to pick the right type of radiation and the right type of experiment. Therefore, we have collected a number of basic as well as advanced questions, that scattering techniques may approach. and a number of senior supervisors knowing their field well. In the course you should introduce each other to basic principles, clever realizations, some tricks and some challenging applications. It is expected that we practice high quality talks carefully worked out and guided by supervisors which are happy to share their expertise.
Recommended reading list:
Literature will be provided by the supervisor.
Digital teaching:
As soon as available, the course will be mirrored in LMS.
You may join after registering for this course.
We intend to share materials, have a chat room and keep a collection of the handouts.
If we are forced to go online again, we will try to host talk recordings there for download.
