Welcome to this seminar. This term´s overarching theme is: Current Issues in Condensed Matter Physics
All topics will be presented and distributed at the first lecture.
After fixing your talk, please contact your talk supervisor as soon as possible for materials and talk planning.
Lectures 2 and 3 feature a hands-on introduction to presentation skills. They will be given by Dr. Sascha Vogel (https://sciencebirds.de/) Note the deviating time and room!!!
Talks start in the first week of May
Contents:
This seminar series aims to explore many-body physics and its current applications in hard and soft matter physics. In both cases, properties and performance of many materials can be understood only in terms of effective potential respecting their many-body nature. Course grained models using macroscopic averages as input are nevertheless often sucessfully applied. In this broad and exciting field we will more or less focus on three different material classes and discuss these in some more detail up to current application: New developments in magnetism and spintronics; The structure and general behaviour of fluids at solid surfaces; Transport in and of aqueous electrolytes along charged solid surfaces. We will discuss both techniques for system characterization and implications of novel findings for material performance.

The participants are expected to contact their talk supervisors as soon as possible. They are expected to have a talk rehearsal (test-talk) with their supervisors before their presentation in class.
Talks should be about 30Min and be prepared for presentation on your own laptop. A HDMI connection is available. Please, bring your own adapter, where necessary. A running .ppt or .pdf version of the talk shoud be made available to Thomas Palberg to be uploaded after the talk on LMS. After each talk, we will have a discussion of the physics content and a separate constructive discussion of the style and performance.
Participants are expected to submit a short handout one week before the presentation. This handout is intended to assist fellow students in following the presentation and to take notes. Good handouts have previously prooven to be very helpful in discussing the physics content. Typically it has the following format: 1000-3000 characters including spaces, plus Equations to remember, one Figure, and References, Maximum 2 pages all in all.
Digital teaching:
The seminar is in person.
