WE MIGHT HAVE HYBRID LECTURES, that is, in the lecture room: Physik-Hörsaal Nr. 4 (Kl. HS B) and online. The lectures in English take place on Wednesday (14:00 - 15:30) . For the online part, we use the video conferencing software Zoom. To participate, a computer, tablet or mobile phone is required on which the software should be installed in advance (www.zoom.us). The link to join the zoom meeting is published here. You get access to the link as soon as your are registered. EXERCISES: The exercise classes take place in person only on Fridays 15:45-17:15 in Building 30.23 (Physik-Hochhaus), Room 3/1 (confirmed). The first class is on April 26, 2024. Please send the solutions to the exercise sheets by Thusdays midnight to your tutor via email (thomas.reisinger@kit.edu). Your tutor will choose presenters for the different exercises during the class. To pass the class you must be ready to present at least 60% of the exercises and present at least twice.

Course date: 14/10/2024 - 18/10/2024. The course is already fully booked.

Introductory course on observation of the high-energy universe with gamma rays and neutrinos.

The ABC of DFT Summer Term 2024 Dr. Marjan Krstić, Dr. Christof Holzer, and Prof. Wolfgang Wenzel Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Dear Students, This semester we will hold the course “The ABC of DFT” in person in the building 30.22 Physik-Hörsaal Nr. 3 (Kl. HS A). We suggest following: • Please take your notes, annotate the slides, and be regular in the class, both for lectures and exercises. • Ask questions if you have any. Do not hesitate to do so during the lecture. • The slides used for the lecture will be made available after the lecture on ILIAS portal. • The lecture will be complemented by exercises given in preson. • If you have questions or doubts, please contact us. Our best wishes, Dr. Marjan Krstić Dr. Christof Holzer Prof. Wolfgang Wenzel Lecturer: Dr. Marjan Krstić Email: marjan.krstic@kit.edu Office: 30.23/10.02 Prof. Wolfgang Wenzel Email: wolfgang.wenzel@kit.edu Office: KIT Campus Nord, Institute of Nanotechnology (INT), building 640, 0-222 Lecturer exercises: Dr. Christof Holzer Email: christof.holzer@kit.edu Office: 30.23/10.02 Prof. Wolfgang Wenzel Email: wolfgang.wenzel@kit.edu Office: KIT Campus Nord, Institute of Nanotechnology (INT), building 640, 0-222 Details on the lecture: Thursday, 11.30 am–13.00 am, weekly, in bulding 30.22, Physik-Hörsaal Nr. 3 (Kl. HS A), starting from 18.04.2024 Details on the exercises: Monday, 17.30 pm–19.00 pm, every second week, in building 30.23, seminar room 10.01, starting with 29th of April. Course information: The lectures slides will be made available via the ILIAS webpage of the course at https://ilias.studium.kit.edu. This semester has 13 dates (each Thursday at 11:30 am) and we will cover the following subjects: 1. Introduction and Overview: What to expect from this course and why DFT is so popular 2. Hartree-Fock & Kohn-Sham theory I: Approximating the many-electron problem 3. Hartree-Fock & Kohn-Sham theory II: Solids, molecules & unified electron gas 4. Localized and periodic basis sets 5. Jacobs Ladder: Approximations to the exact density functional 6. Molecular quantum mechanics: The ground state in DFT 7. Molecular quantum mechanics: Excited states in DFT 8. Molecular quantum mechanics: Accessing properties with DFT 9. External perturbations: Electric fields, magnetic fields and solvents 10. Modern developments in DFT: Resolution-of-the-identity approximation and density fitting 11. Modern developments in DFT: Approximations to quantum mechanical exchange 12. Modern developments in DFT: Advanced methods to approximate the exact density functional 13. Overview over recent scientific research involving DFT

The course will cover the principals of image formation in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning ion microscopy (FIB), nanostructuring with focused ion beams, and analytical methods in electron microscopy (chemical analysis, electronic properties). The aim is for you to understand these different aspects and be able to explain them yourself. Using application examples from materials science and solid-state physics, you will recognize the potential applications and limitations of the methods. After this lecture, you should be able to assess which method(s) is (are) suitable for specific questions in micro- and nanocharacterization.

The practical exercises in Electron Microscopy 2 deal with the principles of image generation in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning ion microscopy (FIB), nanostructuring with focused ion beams and analytical methods in electron microscopy (chemical analysis, electronic properties). The aim is for you to understand and be able to explain these different aspects yourself and to gain initial hands-on operating experience directly on the equipment, as well as initial experience with processing and interpreting of the data obtained. Using application examples from materials science and solid state physics, you will recognize the possible uses and limitations of the devices. After these exercises, you should be able to assess which method(s) is/are suitable for specific questions of micro- and nanocharacterization.

Anhand von vier Messverfahren (Geoelektrik, Gravimetrie, Magnetik, Seismik) wird geübt, wie auf der Basis der verfügbaren Vorkenntnisse über das Untersuchungsgebiet aussagekräftige Messergebnisse im Gelände erzielt werden. Eine eingangs formulierte Fragestellung ist der rote Faden für alle Schritte der Untersuchungen (Konzeption der Messprofile im Gelände, Messung und Qualitätskontrolle, Inversion der Messdaten, schriftlicher Bericht). Die Messwoche findet nach Pfingsten im Hegau statt.
