Physics: Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: FYST64

<p>The course starts with an introduction to surfaces and their fundamental importance in physics, chemistry, nanoscience and biology. The introduction is followed by a basic discussion of surface structure, adsorption, surface reactions, and crystal growth. In particular, it is discussed how the physics and chemistry of surfaces (and 2d gases at surfaces) can differ fundamentally from those of the surfaces' 3d equivalents.  In the remaining main part of the course, the experimental determination of surface structure, surfaces chemistry and surface is discussed and the following techniques are addressed:</p> <p>Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM, AFM, MFM), spectroscopy (AES, XPS), diffraction (LEED, SXRD), and microscopy techniques based on XPS, LEED, and SXRD.</p> <p>The course treats the following aspects:</p> <p>- surface-specific problems in physics, chemistry, nanoscience, and biology • the description of surface structures, adsorption at surfaces, and alloys<br /> - scanning tunnelling microscopy techniques for surface analysis.<br /> - spectroscopy and diffraction techniqes for surface analysis<br /> - newly developed methods for surface physics</p><p>https://canvas.education.lu.se/courses/12008</p>

Behörighet

Admission to the course requires 120 credits studies in natural sciences, of which 75 credits in physics and 45 credits in mathematics is included, alternatively a Bachelor degree in physics - in both cases including knowledge equivalent to FYSC23, Solid state physics, 7.5 credits, and English 6/B.
