Course content
|
- Surfaces of liquids - thermodynamic basics, influence of solid surface structure on liquid wetting. - Basics of statistical physics of surfaces - Boltzmann statistics, atomistic theory of nucleation. - Solid surfaces 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. - Solid surfaces and surface forces - selected analytical techniques: SEM, Diffraction, XPS, Raman spectroscopy. - Theoretical methods for studying surfaces: molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. - Adsorption on surfaces - Langmuir adsorption, BET adsorption. - Diffusion at surfaces and interfaces - analytical and general numerical solutions. - Applications: scanning force microscopy and its techniques. - From surface to nanotechnology - 2D thin films, 1D nanotubes and 0D quantum dots. - Quantum physics of nanostructures, quantum trapping (infinite and finite depths), tunneling (probability flux density, from raster tunneling microscopy to the nature of electronics). - Electronic properties of nanostructures, density of states and Fermi-Dirac statistics. - Quantum mechanical calculations (tight coupling method and density functional theory), transport in nanostructures. - Applications - graphene, carbon nanotubes, preparation and formation of nanostructures. - Applications - quantum dots.
