Description

Part 1: Physical chemistry of surfaces and interface

Ø  Basics of interface and surface science

Ø  Introduction of crystalline solids and surfaces

Ø  Surface structures (relaxation/reconstruction) and energetics

Ø  Surface electronic structure: electronic properties of surfaces, work function, surface dipoles

Ø  Solid-liquid and solid-solid interfaces

Ø  Adsorption on solid surfaces

Ø  Impact of synthetic strategies on film surfaces
