3rd Year Physics Laboratory

1. General Physics | 2. Condensed Matter Physics | 3.1 - 3.5 Optics | 3.6 - 3.7 Synchrotron | 4. Methods and Techniques

The Third Year Physics Laboratory allows students to carry out a wide range of unique experiments, which cover major areas of General and Quantum Physics, Optics and Photonics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, Low Temperature Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Synchrotron and X-ray Physics, etc. Many of the experiments allow students access to "state of the art" instrumentation and equipment in which they can explore fundamental aspects of modern physics. Notable examples are: low temperature thermometry, the double slit experiment - one photon at a time, optical tweezers, synchrotron IR spectroscopy, the Mössbauer effect, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), positron emission tomography (PET), muon physics, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID)

Lab scripts are available on "Blackboard"
