Education facts
Code: FYAD07
The course treats modern scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques, primarily scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning force microscopy (SFM), both regarding theory and practice. The physical foundation and theory of STM and SFM is treated thoroughly, as well as the basic measurement modes. The course also covers advanced measurement and analysis methods, artifacts, as well as manipulation with STM and SFM. Several examples of the use of SPM techniques in current research and industry are given. Finally, an overview of other SPM techniques is given. The course contains several laboratory exercises.
