Study
Our division teaches a broad range of courses from fundamental undergraduate physics to specialised Master’s and PhD courses. We are heavily engaged in in managing the MSc programmes in Energy Systems Engineering, Materials Engineering as well as Materials Science. For students interested in deepening their knowledge of materials science as well as their experimental skills, we regularly offer diploma-work and shorter projects.
Programmes and courses we are responsible for
- Energy Physics I
- Experimental Methods for Physics II
- Measuring Techniques
- Measurement Techniques for Energy Systems
- Mechanics Basic Course
- Medical Physics, Orientation
- Nanoscience
- Neutron Scattering
- Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics and Steam Turbine Technology
- Scientific Programming in Python with Applications in Physics
PhD course: Ion beam materials analysis
The Tandem Laboratory, in cooperation with the Division for Materials Physics, offers a PhD course within ion beam materials analysis on a yearly basis. PhD students from universities and technical institutes from all over Sweden are welcome to participate. The course, with an extent of 5 ECTS credits, consists of a series of lectures and lab exercises.
Course content overview:
- Fundamental interactions between ions and matter
- The different ion-beam-based analytical methods at the Tandem Laboratory
- Instruments and other hardware relevant for experiments
- Simulation programs and data handling
In addition, students will participate in two lab exercises covering Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and Elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) at the Tandem Laboratory. Participants are encouraged to bring samples from their own research.
