Course contents:
This course is the introduction to series of courses engaged in study of physical problems of two dimensional structures ? surfaces, interfaces and thin films. Introduction of course is give up to problematic of clean surface: technology for preparation of surfaces and interfaces, its morphology and structure, brief description of two dimensional lattice vibration and electron structure of surface. Following part pay the attention to interaction between surface (interface) and surrounding medium and responsive changes of their physical properties: scattering of particles on solid state surface, kinetics and dynamics of elementary processes on surface (interface) ? adsorption, diffusion, desorption and sputtering. Last part talks about reactions on solid state surface (heterogenic catalysis), mechanics of thin film growth, properties and applications of thin films (except optical properties).
