The main target of this subject is to introduce thin films as one-dimensional nanostructures. The lectures deals with technology of thin-film preparation, its characterization and description of optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of thin films. A stress is laid on summary of basic thin film applications. Students will be also informed about basic research directions at VSB-Technical University of Ostrava in the field of physics of thin films and nanostructures and available Bc. thesis.
