The Physics of Low-Dimensional Structures and
Quantum Devices (FFF042)
2012
Projects
Project report
The project report should be 5 pages long, corresponding to 3-4 pages of text
plus figures and references. The report should be written in English and on a
level such that the other students in the course can understand (and enjoy) it.
After discussing the report with your supervisor it should be emailed as a pdffile to Mats-Erik Pistol before 13.00 on Wednesday, December 12. This
probably means that your supervisor should get your report on Tuesday.
You should read the reports of the other groups before the presentations and
all project reports will therefore be made available to you (electronically as
well as printed) by Wednesday afternoon.
Project presentation
The projects will be presented at the symposium on Thursday December 13.
There will be 15 minutes assigned to each project but this includes time for
questions. In practice there will therefore be 12 minutes of presentation
followed by 3 minutes of questions.
