Transition Metal Oxides, WS 2006/07

Lecturers: R. Klingeler, C. Hess, M. Knupfer

Wed. 14:50 - 15:10, in: PHY/D 16/U

For undergraduate physicists and PhD students. Lecture is given in the PhD Course of the International Max Planck Research School “Dynamical Processes in Atoms, Molecules and Solids”.

Previous knowledge: Quantum Mechanics, Solid State Physics I 

Transition metal oxides are an important class of materials in modern solid state physics. Their properties comprise phenomena such as high temperature superconductivity, collossal magnetoresistance, quantum magnetism and unusual ordering states. The cours gives an introduction to the relevant microscopic mechanisms including band structure, electronic correlations, orbitals, magnetism and structure.
