Comprehensive Course on Topological Systems
Based on the high demand last semester, we again offer a comprehensive course on topological systems which is specifically targeted at PhD students and other junior researchers. Lectures will be given by several PIs of IMPRS-CPQM working in the field of topological materials, including Claudia Felser, the director of the Department for Solid-State Chemistry, and Max Planck Research Group leader Johannes Gooth.
The researchers giving the individual lectures all work at the fore-front of this exciting topic and are contribute to the world-leading activities at MPI-CPfS in their respective research area. The course will start on 19 October and will be offered based on the following schedule:
| 19 October | General introduction to topological systems |
| 26 October | Crystal structure and Topological Materials |
| 02 November | Crystal synthesis |
| 09 November | no lecture |
| 16 November | DFT calculation for topological materials |
| 23 November | Anomalous Hall effect, Nernst effect and other transport phenomena |
| 30 November | Transport properties |
| 07 December | Thermal transport |
| 14 December | Band structure calculations - tight binding |
| 21 December | Magnetic topological materials |
| 11 January | Table-top experiments for high energy physics |
| 18 January | Applications of topological materials |
Details about the individual lectures will be announced separately.
