Nordic Master Program in Computational Chemistry and Physics
Excellent Science in Exciting Places: Gothenburg, Helsinki, Reykjavík, Stockholm, Tromsø
Spread over five universities in
four Nordic countries, the NOCCAP network
gives you access to a unique set of scientific
competences.
High level education
addressing key answers to
problems in modern computational chemistry
and physics.
Admission criteria,
application procedure,
and deadlines.
Description of courses and recommended reading.
OC2: Transport through molecules and nanostructures
Course code
ECTS points
10
Level of course/ year of study
First or second year of Master studies
Course contents
Calculations of charge transport with and without magnetic field using various
approaches. Scattering formalism, Green functions, and Generalized Master
Equation. Emphasis will be put on the difference between describing open and
closed systems, and systems in equilibrium and out of equilibrium. The aim of
the course is to model nanoscale devices for quantum electronics.
Language of instruction and examination
English
Teaching methods
Lectures, lab sessions, projects
Teaching semester
Summer course (June and July). The course will be taught in parallel with OC1
(Rates of transitions and long time scale evolution), allowing for both courses
being followed simultaneously.
Examination semester
Summer
Assessment methods
Evaluation of project reports
Grading
Letter grades (A-F)
Recommended reading
- Lecture notes and articles
