Short description:	This lecture concerns the modern, based on magnetooptics effects, methods of experimental physics, applied for investigation of magnetic properties of different materials.
Full description:	Year of study / semester: 1 year/2 semester Number of hours of didactic classes: Lecture - 30 h, laboratory - 30 h Total ECTS: 6 The range of topics: Topics taken at the lecture: 1) Methods based on the Faraday effect and on the Kerr effect. 2) Magneto-optical synchrotron techniques. 3) Methods using femtosecond pulses of light. Topics taken during the laboratory : 1) Jones formalism. 2) Magnetic properties of thin layers. 3) Magneto-optical effects. 4) Analysis of images of domain structures.
Bibliography:	Recommended literature: 1. A K Zvezdin and V A Kotov, Modern Magnetooptics and Magnetooptical Materials, Institute of Physics Publishing Bristol and Philadelphia, 1997 (electronic version available at the lecturer). Additional literature: 1. Alex Hubert, Rudolf Schäfer, Magnetic Domains, The Analysis of Magnetic Microstructures, ISBN 978-3-540-64108-7 Springer Berlin Heidelberg New York, 2009.
Learning outcomes:	A student: 1. Has an in-depth awareness of the importance of the experiment as a means of verification of theoretical concepts, awareness of experimental uncertainties and awareness of special responsibility for the results of research (K_W03). 2. Knows the construction and operating principles of measuring equipment for selected solid state physics experiments (K_W07). 3. Knows how to create an image, including digital image, knows methods of processing and improving the quality of images and signals (K_W30). 4. Understand and critically use the professional literature and resources of the Internet - including sources in English in relation to the studied physics problems (K_U10).
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	An examination consisting of both written and oral parts. Obtaining at least 50 percentage points means getting a positive grade.
