The year 2007 has been rich with events in our Physics Institutes, both scientific and social. In the short notes of this booklet we have compiled the most interesting results of our research, often performed in cooperation within and among the Physics Institutes and with many colleagues in Leipzig, nationally and worldwide.

In front of you is the 2008 report of the Physics Institutes of the Universität Leipzig. The year has brought a strong expansion of our interdisciplinary education and cooperation with chemistry and biochemistry in the framework of the Leipzig Graduate School of Natural Sciences "Building with Molecules and Nano-objects (BuildMoNa)", now hosting almost one hundred doctoral candidates. We particulary acknowledge the strong participation of our industrial partners in the teaching modules. The Graduate School is supported by the State of Saxony with two additional Research Units ("Nachwuchsforschergruppen") funded via ESF and having started in the meanwhile.

This 2009 report of the Physics Institutes of the Universität Leipzig presents to you an overview of our research in numerous projects, enjoyably conducted with colleagues and partners worldwide. We are grateful to our guests for enriching our academic year with their contributions in the colloquium and within the work groups.

This 2010 report of the Physics Institutes of the Universität Leipzig presents to you an overview of our research in numerous projects, enjoyably conducted with colleagues and partners worldwide. We are grateful to our guests for enriching our academic year with their contributions in the colloquium and within the work groups.

Welcome to the 2011 report of the Physics Institutes of the Universität Leipzig presenting to you an overview of our research in numerous projects. We have enjoyed research and interaction with colleagues and partners worldwide. We are grateful to our guests for enriching our academic year with their contributions in the colloquium and within the work groups. 2011 has seen the BuildMoNa Symposium on \"Hot Nanoparticles and Nanostructures\", bringing together theoretical and experimental experts on the rapidly emerging and highly interdisciplinary field of laser-heated nanoparticles and nanostructures at the intersection of nanophotonics and nanoscale non-equilibrium stochastic thermodynamics.

Welcome to the 2012 report of the Physics Institutes of the Universität Leipzig presenting to you an overview of our research in numerous projects. We have enjoyed research and interaction with colleagues and partners worldwide. We are grateful to our guests for enriching our academic year with their contributions in the colloquium and within the work groups.

Der Forschungsbericht der Institute für Experimentelle Physik I und II und des Instituts für Theoretische Physik erscheint jährlich und berichtet über die Aktivitäten und die Mitarbeiter der Institute. Den Hauptteil des Forschungsbericht bilden Forschungsberichte aus den einzelnen Abteilungen der Institute (Halbleiterphysik, Magnetismus, Optik und Akustik).

Zuarbeit zum Forschungsbericht

No description available.

The research report contains all activities of the institute of physics of 2011. 2011 was another successful year for the Institut für Physik both in teaching and research. In this year, the first students finished the new bachelor course in physics and started their master studies. Most of them obtained very good results in the exams and B.A. thesis research, demonstrating that during adaption of the new system of academic degrees the high level of the internationally renown Diplomphysiker course could be maintained. Also, the students in our bachelor courses computational science as well as sensors and cognitive psychology made very good success. The latter, truly innovative course - which is unique in Germany - was very well received. The first students finished their second year.
