Beginning in 1970, our institute has organized an annual two-week Spring School on modern topics in solid state physics.

The topics of the Spring Schools over the past 14 years were:

1990    Solid State research for Information Technology

1991    Physics of Polymers

1992    Synchrotron Radiation for investigating Condensed Matter

1993    Magnetism of Solids and Boundaries

1994    Complex Systems between Atoms and Solids

1995    Electroceramics - Basics and Applications

1996    Scattering Methods for investigating Condensed Matter

1997    Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Condensed Matter

1998    Physics of Nanostructures

1999    Magnetic Layer Structures

2000    Fsec and neV: Dynamics of Condensed Matter

2001    New materials for the information technology

2002    Soft Matter - Complex Materials on Mesoscopic scales

2003    Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics
