The aim of the course is to provide better understanding of experimental techniques (spectroscopic and microscopic) that give information on the relation between microscopic and macroscopic properties of surface and interfaces of materials. The subject of the lectures in the course will typically be: the type of information that is provided by the technique, the fundamental physical principles of the technique and the analysis of acquired data. In addition there will be compulsory labs and demonstrations. The techniques are the following-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, (XPS), infrared spectroscopy (IR), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electro spectroscopy (SEM) , atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Required Knowledge
Aquatic Chemistry (15 ECTS, 5KE003/5KE002) or Analytical Chemistry (15 ECTS, 5KE082/5KE081) and Biophysical Chemistry (7.5 ECTS) or Biochemistry (15 ECTS, 5KE075) or Bioorganic Chemistry (15 ECTS, 5KE010/5KE011) or Spectroscopy (7.5 ECTS) or the equivalent.
English proficiency equivalent to IELTS Academic Training - minimum score 5.0 with no individual score below 4.5 (tests taken before January 2005 not admissible), or TOEFL - minimum score 500 on paper based test and not below 4.0 on the TWE, alternatively 173 on computer based test with iBT61 is also required as well as basic entrance requirements for higher studies in Swedish language proficiency if the course is taught in Swedish.
