| Goal of the Course | In the course we will discuss different experimental probes used in Condensed Matter Physics, in particular what information each can offer and what is its theoretical background. The course is at the graduate level and requires fairly good knowledge of statistical and quantum mechanics. It is adressed to students with experimental or theoretical interest. |
