Experimental Methods in Physics of Magnetism 390-FS2-1MEM
Topics covered:
1. Fundamentals of the physics of nanostructure fabrication and magnetic properties.
2. Classical measurements of magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and magnetic anisotropy.
3. Selected resonance methods – nuclear magnetic resonance and ferromagnetic resonance.
4. Inelastic light scattering methods (Brillouin and Raman scattering).
5. Scanning atomic force microscopy (AFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM).
6. Scanning tunneling microscopy.
7. Electron microscopy techniques.
During laboratory classes, students have the opportunity to become familiar with selected experimental techniques available at the Faculty of Physics in research teams and participate in measurements. They will analyze experimental results to characterize selected magnetic samples.

Learning outcomes
KP7_WG4 specialized research tools used in a selected field of physics, including, within the scope of the curriculum, measurement procedures used in physics and medicine,
KP7_UW3 quantitatively and qualitatively explain the course of complex phenomena based on the laws of physics,
KP7_UK1 plan and conduct scientific research in a selected field of physics and astronomy, selecting appropriate research tools within the scope of the curriculum,
KP7_KK1 continuously improve one's own competences, taking into account the rapid progress in the field of physics.
Assessment criteria
An exam consisting of written and oral sections is planned. The oral exam requires students to answer three questions from a pre-assigned set.
Laboratory assessments will include the performance of the experiment, data processing, measurement uncertainty analysis, discussion of results, and report preparation.
To assess learning outcomes, we use the following grading scale based on the average percentage of the questions:
Very good 5 (100% - 91%
Good plus - 4.5 (90% - 81%)
Good 4 - (80% - 71%)
Satisfactory plus - 3.5 (70% - 61%)
Satisfactory 3 - (60% - 51%)
Unsatisfactory 2 (50% - 0%)
