Proseminar in Physics V (FSI-0FS)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Radek Kalousek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚFI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Proseminar in physics V is drawn up to support students’ active approach their study content. The main aim is to actively follow the commentary by means of the intensive collaboration between the teacher and the student.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Knowledge of definitions, laws and their validity conditions in the range of the syllabus. The emphasis is laid on the encouragement of abilities to solve physical and technical problems by virtue of general information obtained from the lecture Quantum and statistical physics.
Prerequisites:
Integral and differential calculus.
Course contents:
State of the system (function of degeneration, entropy); Two systems in contact (temperature, chemical potential, pressure); Fundamentals of thermodynamics (thermodynamic identity, irreversible processes); Fundamentals of statistical physics (Boltzmann- and Gibbs factor); Atomic gas (Bose-Einstein distribution, Boltzmann distribution, ideal gas, fundamentals of kinetic theory of gases, non-ideal gas); Fermi gas (Fermi-Dirac distribution, thermodynamic quantities describing Fermi gas); Solid matter (Einstein model, Debye model, thermal dilatation, black body radiation); Interface between solid and liquid phase (Kelvin equation, contact angle)
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through exercises which are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Students are evaluated on the basis of discussion on topics explained during the course.
Controlled participation in lessons:
For passing out the Proseminar in Physics V the attendance at the courses is obligatory. In the case of excused absence an individual way of compensation can be arranged.
Type of course unit:
    Exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Exercise Proseminar complements the lecture Quantum and Statistical Physics given within the frame of the speciality Physical engineering and Nanotechnology. Students taking this seminar can practise tasks of some parts of statistical physics and thermodynamics. Acquired abilities belong to the necessary skills in applied physics.
