| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Upon successful completion of the course, students are able to describe the physical processes and laws governing the behavior of gases, their interaction with surfaces, and the generation of vacua. They can apply fundamental concepts of vacuum technology, including the use of vacuum pumps, pressure measurement techniques and other components of typical vacuum systems. These competencies enable them to analyze both theoretical and practical aspects of vacuum physics and technology and apply them in academic and professional contexts.

| Skills |
Knowledge |
Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to
- maintain and operate vacuum systems and equipment (k1-k3);
- apply measurement devices for analyzing the state of a vacuum, including interpretation of measurement results (k3/k4);
- systematically identify problems in vacuum systems, diagnose problems and take appropriate corrective actions (k4/k5);
- integrate vacuum technology into scientific research and technical applications (k6).
|
During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of vacuum technology and vacuum physics:
- kinetic gas theory;
- gas flow through tubes and openings;
- interaction of gases with surfaces (physisorption, chemisorption, adhesion);
- physical principles of vacuum pumps;
- pressure measurement and mass spectrometry;
- design of vacuum systems;
- vacuum systems in practice (including lab visits).
