| Detailed information |
| Original study plan |
Master's programme Physics 2023W |
| 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.
