Theory of Surface Phenomena (TheoSurf)5 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: Theory of Surface Phenomena)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Theory of Surface Phenomena)

Lectures:

• • Theory of Surface Phenomena / Theorie der Oberflächenphänomene
    (Vorlesung mit Übung, 3 SWS, Bernd Meyer, Place and time by agreement)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and quantum chemical calculations is strongly recommended

Inhalt:

• Brief introduction into quantum-chemical methods for surface science studies

• Introduction of basic nomenclature of how to describe the atomic and electronic structure of surfaces

• 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

• Thermodynamic analysis of the stability of surface structures; surface phase diagrams

• Methods for calculating STM and AFM data to support the analysis of experimental data from local probe measurements
