SICUE Exchange
Universidad de Granada
An intensive academic year exploring the physical properties of matter and the universe. This period was heavily focused on experimental Solid State Physics and observational Astrophysics, bridging the gap between microscopic quantum phenomena and macroscopic galactic dynamics.
Featured Laboratory & Research Work
Superconductivity & The Meissner Effect
Determination of the transition temperature of different superconducting materials utilizing the Meissner effect and the Kelvin method.
Electron Diffraction in Crystals
Experimental observation of electron diffraction emitted via the thermionic effect by a crystal structure, obtaining parameters that correctly describe the graphite lattice.
Ferromagnetic Hysteresis
Determination of the remanent and coercive variables of magnetization. Observation of the first magnetization curve and the magnetic hysteresis loop of iron.
Hall Effect in Semiconductors
Determination of Hall coefficients, Hall voltage, and carrier density for n-type and p-type Germanium, analyzing the variations against electric current, magnetic field, and temperature.
Stellar Evolution of a Solar Mass
Analysis of the HR diagram (luminosity vs. effective temperature) to track and explain the evolutionary stages of a one-solar-mass star, from its protostar origins to its final white dwarf state.
Galactic Dynamics & Dark Matter
Multi-wavelength study of the NGC 2841 galaxy using the DS9 software. Calculated the dynamical, atomic gas, and stellar masses to extract the overall proportion of dark matter in the galaxy.
