The purpose of the course is to form students’ knowledge and practical skills in studying the properties of a solid surface. The course addresses the following issues: properties of the boundary between the vacuum and the surface of a solid; surface cleaning methods; mathematical principles of description of surface structures and methods of their research; thermodesorption methods of surface research; methods of research of work of an exit of a surface, principles of work of autoelectron and autoionic microscopes-projectors and methods of electron spectroscopy.

Learning outcomes:

know:
Classification of modern methods of surface research.
Principles of construction of modern installations for research of physical properties of a surface.
Features of the interface between the surface of the solid-vacuum, and methods of surface cleaning.
Diffraction methods for studying the structure of the surface.
Methods of research of chemical composition of a surface.

be able:
Work with ultra-high vacuum systems.
Make a tip for scanning tunneling and autoelectron microscopes.
Investigate the emission properties of the surface by thermal emission, photoelectron emission and PKC.
Investigate the structure of the surface using an autoelectronic projector.
Be able to decipher the mass spectrum of a real mixture of gases.
