Aim:
The course aims to provide theoretical and practical knowledge of molecular systems in the form of thin organic and biological layers on solid surfaces. The course contains a theoretical part where the methods for describing adsorption to solid surfaces treated. The student is also given an introduction to surface analytical methods, including among others infrared and photoelectron spectroscopy. Laboratory classes in which students may take advantage of advanced surface analytical equipment to study adsorption phenomenon are also included.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
General Chemistry, Molecular Physics, Surface Physics

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
