Part II Atomic Physics and the hydrogen atom. Bohr's atomic model. The Pauli principle and electron spin. The periodic system.

Part III Physics and statistical physics of solids.  Molecules and simple rotation and vibration levels.  Band theory for metals. Semiconductors. X-ray spectra.

Part IV Nuclear Physics and Atomic nucleus. Radioactivity. Nuclear Fission. Nuclear fusion.

Part V Elemental Particles: Bosons and fermions. Mesons, baryons. Leptons, quarks and photons. The standard model and its development. Higgs particle.

Note that the exam will be given in the language in which the subject is being taught.

Learning outcome

After completing the course, the student must: Have a good understanding of fundamental concepts in quantum mechanics, and be able to convey its central experimental and theoretical results. In addition, have a broad understanding of concepts and methods of solid state, atomic, nuclear and particle physics, including semiconductors, atomic spectra, the periodic table, radioactivity and the standard model of particle physics. Finally, the student must be able to complete simple, illustrative calculations within these areas of physics.
