3. Inhoud
From a technical point of view, surfaces are very important. Each solid has a surface and this is the way it interacts with the surrounding. Surface physics deals with the chemical composition and the arrangement of atoms at a surface. Both experimental observation and theoretical study of their mechanical, electronic and chemical properties will be studied.This course concentrates on metallic and semiconductor surfaces. Fundamental concepts in surface physics will be discussed. The accent will be on basic principles, their experimental consequences and demonstration of their application on simple models. The students sill have to present an overview of the experimental techniques which are currently used in the study of surfaces.Content:1. Introduction2. Electronic structure at surfaces: simple models3. Electronic structure at surfaces: materials4. Surface phonons and polaritons5. Adsorption on solid surfaces6. Experimental measurement method
