| TFFY97 | Surface Physics, ECTS-points /YTFYSIK/ Advancement level: D | |
| Aim: To provide the student an insight into a current research field and elucidate the importance, in different technical circumstances, of knowing the composition and structure in the outermost layers of a solid. Prerequisites: TFFY28 Modern Physics, TFFY54 Quantum Mechanics II are recommended. TFFY70 Physics of Condensed Matter I is desirable. Course content: The atomic composition and structure at surfaces of solids. Different surface analysis methods. Surface properties such as: work functions, surface states and surface diffusion. Simple surface adsorption processes. Course literature: Zangwill A.: "Physics at Surfaces", Cambridge University Press 1988. | ||
