FORMAT OF THE COURSE: It's a Lab course of 6 European-Credits-Transfer-System points (ETCS, or "Crediti Formativi Universitari", CFU, in Italian) for the "Laurea Magistrale" in Physics (equivalent to an advanced Master Degree in Physics in the Anglo-Saxon system). It is proposed in particular, but not exclusively, for students from the Condensed Matter training track, and does not requires particular knowledge of Condensed Matter beyond that acquired during the Bachelor Degree. It amounts to a total of  72 hours of activity: about 24 of lectures and about 48 of assisted sessions of Computer Lab.

  • Hands-on Lab. sessions (which are extremely important) include:
    • simple introductory exercises (with implementation and use of several basic algorithms of numerical analysis) to recover a basic expertise on Fortran 90, use of computers, error handling;
    • exercises for specific applications and simulations, collection and analysis of data, visualization;
    • comprehension, use, and rewriting of sample codes (draft sources in Fortran 90 available - used as an example, but participants can use any programming language)
    • personal implementation of new codes
  • IMPORTANT: Participation is mandatory (see: "Regolamento didattico"  (Italian only), Art. 14); in case of problems, contact the teacher. The attendance to the lectures and Lab sessions will be registered. Admission to the exam is possible only upon attendance of at least 75% of the hours in class/lab (also on-line).

  • TIME SCHEDULE: The Course is scheduled for the II SEMESTER 2020/2021. Lectures are planned with the following weekly schedule (1 Unit = 0.5 CFU per week), starting from March 10, 2021:
    - 2 hours of lecture (Wed., 4:00-6:00 p.m., Room 0B Building H3) (in presence + streaming) and
    - 4 hours of hands-on session - on-line only (Fri., 9:00-12:45)
  • Lectures will be recorded.
  • Possible variations will be announced on this Web page.
  •  
  • LANGUAGE: Slides and materials are in English. Lectures could be given in Italian or English (in English if attended by foreign students from international programmes). Students can give the exam either in English or in Italian.

  • Due to the pandemic situation that suggests to avoid the use of computer Lab, students are supposed to connect and use their own PC / laptops, that should be equipped with some standard software for editing, programming (fortran90, c++, python, java, ...)  editor, simple visualization software.
