Surface physics and chemistry

To demonstrate to students the fundamental ideas and physical/chemical principles of description and forming clean surfaces/interfaces in crystalline solids; to give knowledge of their atomic and electronic structure; to learn the main physical/chemical processes that determine real structure of surfaces/interfaces in crystalline solids and electronic devices on their base; to describe a role of surfaces/interfaces in the formation of properties of functional nanomaterials and low-dimensional solid-state devices; to get main competences and skills in the preparation and experimental study of surfaces/interfaces in functional nanomaterials and devices on their base
