Murdoch University: Units

Advanced Topics in Physics and Nanotechnology: Experimental (PEC423)
Points:	4
Enrolment Options:	Murdoch: S2-internal [see Teaching Periods and Census Dates]
Description:	This unit extends the study of solid state, surfaces and interactions between radiation fields and solids. It aims to develop the analytical expertise of students by providing the theoretical background and laboratory experience and research skills necessary for undertaking research projects in Physics and Nanoscience/Nanotechnology. PEC423 has an experimental component which focuses on the manufacture and development of materials with various technologically important chemical and physical properties.
Contact time:	Lectures: 2 hours per week; laboratories: 4 hours per week for 6 weeks; tutorials: 1 hour per week.
Prerequisites:	Enrolment in Honours OR M231/PEC231 Modern Physics and PEC317 Physics of Materials.
Used in these Courses:	Honours in Physics and Nanotechnology (BSc(Hons))

Students should ensure they are familiar with the University's internal legislation, including provisions specifically relevant to their studies. See the University Regulations and Rules.

Students who have successfully completed a unit may not enrol for credit in any subsequent version of that unit, even if under a different code and/or title, nor in any parallel lower- or higher-level version. Students enrolled in a higher-level version of a unit are required to demonstrate advanced analytical skills and/or use of advanced research tools in assignments modified for that level.

Cancellation of Courses, Minors and Units
The University reserves the right to cancel, without notice, any course, major, minor or unit if the number of students enrolled falls below limits set by the University.
