The main objective of the course is to give students laboratory experiences in condensed matter and plasma physics that form a broad background. Each group of two or three students chooses five experimental themes for a semester. After completion of three-week experimental work on each theme, students are required to submit a report for assessment. The course offers a variety of themes on experimental techniques such as vacuum coating, dielectric and magnetic measurements, NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, low temperature measurements, photoemission and modulation spectroscopy, nonlinear dynamics measurements, ECR plasma generation and Tokamak operation.
