Nanostructured surfaces (GRK 2495 Lecture)5 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: Nanostructured surfaces)

Lectures:

• • Modeling of Surface Phenomena
    (Vorlesung, 3 SWS, Bernd Meyer)
  • Ceramics Interface Chemistry
    (Vorlesung, 3 SWS, Masaaki Haneda)

Inhalt:

The module of this lecture series each consists of a course held by one Japanese Principal Investigator and a German Principal Investigator from the GRK 2495 Energy Conversion Systems. One part is the lecture by Prof. Dr. Meyer about Modeling of Surface Phenomena.The lecture starts with a brief introduction into quantum-chemical methods for surface science studies. Important practical issues when performing calculations are addressed. In the next section, the basic nomenclature of how to describe the atomic and electronic structure of surfaces is introduced. Basic concepts on how to understand the electronic properties of metal, semiconductor and insulator surfaces, such as surface states, dangling bonds, passivation, charge neutralization with respect to polar and nonpolar surfaces will be explained. This will be combined with a thermodynamic analysis of the stability of surface structures, which will allow to derive surface phase diagrams. These concepts will be used to understand adsorption properties and surface chemical reactions. Finally, methods for calculating STM and AFM data to support the analysis of experimental data from local probe measurements are discussed. In the second part Prof. Dr. Haneda will talk about Ceramics Interface Chemistry. Ceramics materials, which are representative of the oxide, are complexed with other oxides or metals to improve the surface/interface properties. This lecture provides the physico-chemical properties and their characterization techniques of ceramics interface at which various physical and chemical phenomena such as molecular adsorption, catalysis, electron transfer etc. take place. Students will learn the foundation and application of surface/interface chemistry occurred on advanced ceramics materials, mainly focusing on catalyst.

Bemerkung:
