Course specification
Course title Scanning Probe Microscopy in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
Acronym DS2SMU
Study programme Electrical Engineering and Computing
Module Nanoelectronics and Photonics
Type of study doctoral studies
Lecturer (for classes)
    Lecturer/Associate (for practice)
      Lecturer/Associate (for OTC)
        ESPB 9.0 Status elective
        Condition Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, solid state physics and electromagnetism. Some knowledge of basic electronics and instrumentation will be helpful but it is not mandatory.
        The goal The purpose of the course is an introduction to nanophysics through corresponding experimental techniques. This concerns scanning probe microscopy methods as the scanning tunneling or atomic force microscopies are. The students should gain a necessary research knowledge in the field or at least learn basic techniques in nanotechnology. This is achieved through seminar works and experiments.
        The outcome At the end of the course the students will have the basic knowledge o different scanning prome microscopy methods and its use in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
