                      | Objectives | You will learn the principle and practical techniques to analyze the physical and chemical properties of surfaces and thin films with spatial resolution down to atomic scale. | 
                      
                    
                      | Subject | The lecture introduces the effects and the mechanisms of: 1) electron-surface interactions
 2) photon-surface interactions
 3) atom/molecule-surface interactions
 4) ion-surface interactions
 in conjunction with their application in analysis of surface and thin films.
