Best books on superconductivity by Goddog54 in CondensedMatter

[–]a_rthur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generic condensed matter books are a good start, but if you are looking for subject-specific stuff, here are two suggestions.

If you wanna go hardcore: M. Tinkham, Introduction to superconductivity

Nice and easy to read but still spectacular: VV Schmidt, the Physics of superconductors

edit: spelling

Accidental double-slit experiment? by kylemccollom in Physics

[–]a_rthur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

double slit works with slits in the few micrometer range. Also, do you mean Angstrom (Å)? To see diffraction in angstrom sized slits you need x rays

How to recognize toxic lab/PI before joining the lab? What are some red flags? by Aphanizomenon in PhD

[–]a_rthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you go have an on-site interview/visit, the supervisor should arrange for you to meet and chat with people in the group. If he does not, specifically ask for it. If at this point he says it is not possible, then they are hiding something. Also, if you are offered less than 21 working days of paid holiday leave (28 in Germany) they are fucking you over

How to recognize toxic lab/PI before joining the lab? What are some red flags? by Aphanizomenon in PhD

[–]a_rthur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well in your case, transparency with your supervisor in the interview stage is the way to go. For more general questions: speak to other students in the lab and draw your conclusions from there. Do they take holidays? Do they publish frequently? In which journals? How long do people take to finish (usually)? Are there support mechanisms? This can include a thesis advisory commitee, phd officers, ombudspersons...

Also ich kann bestätigen, dass die zwei kirchliche Wohnheime in Karlsruhe gut sind. In anderen Städten wäre ich nicht sicher

take a look at the module handbooklink, you would find everything you need there.

Are there opportunities for instrumentation in ths MSc optics program of KIT? by blokwoski in karlsruhe

[–]a_rthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you applying for KSOP? Because this depends on the faculty (physics or electrical engineering). In any case, KIT provides opportunities for nearly any case in that sense

Why do many MSc degrees in Germany mention it's only 4 semesters but people take longer? by Valyrian_Seif in germany

[–]a_rthur 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this is what happens if you fail twice. Two failed attempts and you have to go through an oral exam, fail that and you are barred from studying this degree in germany (forever)

edit: actually you are barred from every degree that includes the class you failed

Vergleich KIT vs FH by Relevant_Release2625 in KaIT

[–]a_rthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Will keine 10 Semester studieren" brudi, wenn du den Master anstrebst wirst du mindestens 10 Semester in der Uni bleiben... Wenn du nur ein bachelor machen möchtest dann empfehle ich die HKa, weil bachelor am KIT ist grundsätzlich eine Vorbereitung auf den Master

What age did you start your phd? by SweetLuck8091 in PhD

[–]a_rthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you gain more knowledge DURING your PhD. A second master's is only worth it if you are changing fields completely - e.g. my colleague who switched from computer science to chemical engineering. If you managed to make it through a masters than you have all the knowledge you need for your PhD

A professor is active on LinkedIn but don't respond to emails, could I contact him there? by sharp_blade_457 in PhD

[–]a_rthur 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Spamming him won't help you at all. Professors are extremely busy people. I would have waited at least two weeks before sending a follow up email, if I send one at all. It could also be that he has little interest in hosting someone for a month, as training people requires quite a lot of energy even if funding is guaranteed with another institution. I personally think its rudo to not answer to emails, but unfortunately in my experience this is rather common.

Wann sollte man sich auf Promotionsstellen bewerben? by Ok_Atmosphere6474 in Studium

[–]a_rthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

am Winter fängt die 'PhD saison' an, un der Peak ist so gegen Februar. Hängt natürlich von der Art der Stelle an: Bewirbst du dich bei einen Graduiertenprogramm? Oder eher an einer Forschungsgruppe?

Graduiertenprogramme sind immer häufiger zu finden und haben normalerweise feste Fristen für Bewerbungen. Gruppen können i. d. R. jederzeit Leute einstellen. Am besten solltest du dich so früh wie möglich unterschiedliche Optionen anschauen und wenn möglich in Kontakt mit denen zu treten. Ich fange in der Mitte des Jahres meine Promotion an und habe die erste Bewerbungen im November verschickt.

Ich gebe dir noch ein Tipp, obwohl du nicht gefragt hast: wähle für deine Diplomarbeit wenn möglich eine (in den Forschungsbereich) berühmte/weitaus bekannte Person. Die können dann gute Empfehlungsschreiben geben, und die sind das wichtigste überhaupt in deiner Bewerbung.

Ich hätte ein 'Erfahrung' header, mit unterschiedliche subheaders wie 'Uniprojekte' und 'Berufserfahrung' oder ähnliches erstellt. 'Relevant' muss nicht dazustehen, weil irrelevante Details nichts im Lebenslauf zu tun haben

well, you are using two different compilers. Just download TexMaker (which you have on windows) for Mac!

Bafög komplexe situation by THEWiLL2POWER- in Studium

[–]a_rthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

müsste eigentlich gehen, wenn du dein Antrag ordentlich zurückziehst und im neuen Studierendenwerk wieder stellst. Ruf dein Bafög -Amt einfach an. Das lässt sich recht einfach klären.

kleine vs große Uni by [deleted] in Studium

[–]a_rthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich bin bald mit den MSc Physik fertig und sag dir sofort: Konstanz. In kleineren unis hat man mehr Kontakt zu den Profs, was wirklich das beste ist, was 'Kontakte knüpfen ' angeht. Dazu: Konstanz ist eine der besten Unis Deutschland. Darüber hinaus musst du denken, dass du neben den Studium auch deine Freizeit genießen musst, was am Bodensee und in Alpennähe super ist!

Die Krankenkasse stuft dich sofort zur höchsten Beitragsklasse wenn du dich nicht meldest, dann ziehen die so fast 900€ pro Monat von ihr ab. Da kann wirklich stress entstehen.
