Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course aims to introduce students to fundamental aspects of Surface Science.
The topics range from the theoretical study of surface crystallography and facets of mono-atomic and oxide compounds, up to polarity instabilities, structural reconstructions and chemical activity. The theoretical description of these topics is accompanied by the review of established and modern experimental techniques (such as scanning probe microscopy, spectroscopy, electron diffraction) and computational methods (mostly density functional theory and machine learning).

Lectures will be given in digital form, and exercises will be assigned to students. Active attendance is warmly recommended in order to facilitate discussions on theoretical aspects and comments on the exercises.

Basic knowledge on Solid State Physics and Condensed Matter are recommended before registration, but not necessary: basic concepts (e.g, density of states, free energy, atomic bonds) will be briefly clarified during lectures upon request from students.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The evaluation of the students takes place continuously (course with continuous assessment of the work).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Minimum requirement for positive evaluation:
- Basic knowledge of all topics discuss during the course;
- Solving the proposed exercises.

Prüfungsstoff

Examination focuses on the topics discussed during lectures.
