Course content
|
It also deals with particular applications related to specific properties of surfaces in research (e.g. SERS) as well as in industry (e.g. catalysis, wetting). 1. Atomic structure of surfaces. 2. Spectroscopic methods of surface structural analysis.3. Microscopic methods of surface structural study. 4. Thermodynamic description of phase interfaces. 5. Wettability of Solid surface and how to influence it. 6. Methods of surface energy and surface wettability determination. 7. Adsorption on phase interface. 8. Surface monomolecular and multi-layer (LB) films. 9. Chemisorption and catalysis. 10. Adsorption methods for study of the surfaces. 11. Surface plasmon and its use in practice (SERS). 12. Practical preparatory methods for inorganic and organic surface films.
