PHYSICS 275: Electrons in Nanostructures

The strange behavior of electrons in metals or semiconductors at length scales below 1 micron, smaller than familiar macroscopic objects but larger than atoms. Ballistic transport, Coulomb blockade, localization, quantum mechanical interference, persistent currents, graphene, topological insulators, 1D wires. After a few background lectures, students come to each class session prepared to discuss one or more classic review articles or recent experimental publications.Prerequisite: undergraduate quantum mechanics and solid state physics preferred; physicists, engineers, chemists welcome.
Last offered: Winter 2023

PHYSICS 276: Electrons in Low Dimensional and Narrow Band Systems

Electrons in low-dimensional and narrow-band systems often display novel and extreme properties - unconventional superconductivity quantum hall effects, quantum mechanical interference, and localization, interplay of correlation and topology, natural and engineered (e.g., twist stacking) narrow-band systems with rich and unexpected behavior. After a few background lectures, students come to each class session prepared to discuss one or more classic review articles or recent experimental publications. Prerequisite: undergraduate quantum mechanics and solid-state physics preferred; physicists, engineers, and chemists welcome.

Instructors: Lev, B. (PI)

PHYSICS 290: Research Activities at Stanford

Required of first-year Physics graduate students; suggested for junior or senior Physics majors for 1 unit. Review of research activities in the department and elsewhere at Stanford at a level suitable for entering graduate students.
Terms: Aut | Units: 1
Instructors: Tam, F. (PI)

PHYSICS 291: Curricular Practical Training

Curricular practical training for students participating in an internship with a physics-related focus. Meets the requirements for curricular practical training for students on F-1 visas. Prior to the internship, students submit a concise description of the proposed project and work activities. After the internship, students submit a summary of the work completed and skills learned, including a reflection on the professional growth gained as a result of the internship. This course may be repeated for credit. Students are responsible for arranging their own internship/employment and faculty sponsorship. Register under faculty sponsor's section number.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-3 | Repeatable 9 times (up to 27 units total)

PHYSICS 293: Literature of Physics

Study of the literature of any special topic. Preparation, presentation of reports. If taken under the supervision of a faculty member outside the department, approval of the Physics chair required. Prerequisites: 25 units of college physics, consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr, Sum | Units: 1-15 | Repeatable for credit

PHYSICS 294: Teaching of Physics Seminar

Weekly seminar/discussions on interactive techniques for teaching physics. Practicum which includes class observations, grading, and student teaching in current courses. Required of all Teaching Assistants prior to the first teaching assignment. Mandatory attendance at weekly in-class sessions during the first 5 weeks of the quarter; mandatory successful completion of all practicum activities. Students who do not hold a US Passport must complete the International Teaching/Course Assistant Screening Exam and be cleared to TA before taking the class. Details: https://language.stanford.edu/programs/efs/languages/english-foreign-students/international-teachingcourse-assistant-screening. Enrollment in PHYSICS 294 is by permission. To get a permission number please complete the form: https://forms.gle/AQarpxz5XVJzVE8i7. If you have not heard from us by the beginning of class, please come to the first class session.
Terms: Aut, Win | Units: 1

PHYSICS 295: Learning & Teaching of Science (CTL 280, EDUC 280, ENGR 295, MED 270)

This course will provide students with a basic knowledge of the relevant research in cognitive psychology and science education and the ability to apply that knowledge to enhance their ability to learn and teach science, particularly at the undergraduate level. Course will involve readings, discussion, and application of the ideas through creation of learning activities. It is suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students with some science background.
Last offered: Spring 2023

PHYSICS 301: Graduate Observational Astrophysics

Designed for physics graduate students but open to all graduate students with a calculus-based physics background and some laboratory and coding experience. Students make and analyze observations using the telescopes at the Stanford Student Observatory. Topics covered include navigating the night sky, the physics of stars and galaxies, telescope instrumentation and operation, imaging and spectroscopic techniques, quantitative error analysis, and effective scientific communication. The course concludes with an independent project where student teams propose and execute an observational astronomy project of their choosing, using techniques learned in class to gather and analyze their data, and presenting their findings in the forms of professional-style oral presentations and research papers. Enrollment by permission. To get a permission number please complete form: https://forms.gle/KDarBRcZWJZG3qr66 form. If you have not heard from us by the beginning of class, please come to the first class session.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

PHYSICS 302: Department Colloquium

Required of graduate students. May be repeated for credit.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1 | Repeatable 15 times (up to 15 units total)
