	Objectives
	THE LECTURES INTEND TO PROVIDE A KNOWLEDGE OF SOME EXPERIMENTAL METHODS AND TECHNIQUES IN MATERIAL SCIENCE. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE LECTURES AIM TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW ON SOME PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE EXPERIMENTAL REALIZATION OF THIN FILMS AND THE MEASURE OF THEIR ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE LECTURES HAVE THE OBJECTIVE TO MAKE THE STUDENT ABLE TO ASSIMILATE THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE IN A THIN FILM LABORATORY.

	Teaching Methods
	THE LECTURES WILL HAVE A DESCRIPTIVE CHARACTER, AIMED TO TEACH SOME BASIC CONCEPTS USEFUL TO THE REALIZATION OF THIN FILMS AND TO THE MEASUREMENT OF ELECTRICAL TRANSPORT PROPERTIES EVEN AT LOW-TEMPERATURES. FOR THIS PART ABOUT 30 HOURS ARE LANNED. THE REMAINING PART OF THE LECTURES WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE LAB ACTIVITY THAT WILL BE BASED ON THE FABRICATION OF THIN FILMS OF A METALIC MATERIAL ( ONE AMONG NB, CU , PD , PDNI , AL , CUMN , CUNI , CUMN , ETC ,) OF DIFFERENT THICKNESSES FOR THE MEASURE OF THE BEHAVIOR OF RESISTIVITY AS A FUNCTION OF THE THICKNESS AND TEMPERATURE.

	Verification of learning
	THE VERIFICATION AND THE EVALUATION OF THE LEVEL OF LEARNING OF THE STUDENT WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH A FINAL EXAM CONSISTS IN THE DISCUSSION OF THE TOPICS COVERED BY THE TAECHER DURING THE LECTURES. IT WILL BE ALSO CRITICALLY DISCUSSED A FINAL REPORT BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPERIMENT PERFORMED BY THE STUDENTS IN THE LABORATORY.
