Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student knows atomic and nanoscale phenomena that affect chemical, mechanical, optical, biological and fluidic surface processes.

The student can explain most important subtractive and additive surface modification methods.

The student knows major thin film deposition processes: PVD, CVD, ALD.

The student is aware of surface non-idealities and degradation processes.

The student can design and execute a simple surface preparation process and report on its results.

The student can critically read original scientific litearure on the topical area of surfaces and films.
