Description:
The module Scanning probe microscopy shall enable that students are knowledgeable about issues of scanning probe microscopy methods and techniques use in materials surface studying. To this end it will be necessary to learn a number of microscopic methods, such as: tunnelling (STM), atomic forces (AFM), magnetic forces (MFM), electrostatic forces (EFM), and Raman microscopy.
Prerequisites:
It is required to know basic issues from the field of classical and quantum mechanics and the theory of electricity and magnetism.
