The subject matter of the program is closely tied to Physics of New Materials which currently have been applied or have its potential application in energy generation, conversion, storage and saving. Classes offered are strictly connected to Physics (for instance, solid-state physics, thermodynamics, magnetism) but also combined Physics and Chemistry (for instance: photovoltaics, solar energy, soft matter, crystallography), Physics and Biology (for instance: artificial photosynthesis, bionanostructures) and Physics and Nanomaterial Engineering (for instance: conducting nanostructures, one- and two-dimensional materials). Additionally, they participate in specialized courses exploring the advanced modern material characterization techniques (for instance: electron and atomic force microscopy, optical spectroscopy, X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, time-resolved laser spectroscopy, neutron scattering), material fabrication (for instance, lithography, thin film deposition, chemical methods) and theoretical computation or computer simulation methods applied in materials physics.
