Course content
|
- Surfaces of liquids - thermodynamic basics, influence of surface structure of solids on liquid wetting. - Basics of statistical physics of surfaces - Boltzmann statistics, atomistic theory of nucleation. - Surfaces of solids and surface forces - van der Waals forces, Pauli exclusion principle and Lennard-Jones potential, ionic forces and covalent bonds, simple calculations of sphere-surface interaction, preparation of clean surfaces. - Surfaces of solid substances and surface forces - selected analytical techniques: SEM, Diffraction, XPS, Raman spectroscopy. - Theoretical methods of studying surfaces: Molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. - Adsorption on the surface - Langmuir adsorption, BET adsorption. - Diffusion on surfaces and interfaces - analytical and general numerical solution. - Application: Scanning force microscopy and its techniques. - From surface to nanotechnologies - 2D thin films, 1D nanotubes and 0D quantum dots. - Quantum physics of nanostructures, quantum trap (infinite and finite depths), tunneling (probability flux density, from the scanning tunneling microscope to the essence of electronics). - Electronic properties of nanostructures, density of states and Fermi-Dirac statistics. - Quantum-mechanical calculations (tight binding method and density functional theory), transport in nanostructures. - Application - graphene, carbon nanotubes, preparation and formation of nanostructures. - Applications - quantum dots.
