Abbreviation ESN
Course title Electronic structure of nanostructures
Coordinating department CNT - Nanotechnology Centre
Course coordinator Ing. Roman Gabor, Ph.D.

Summary

The study programme focuses on the electronic structure of materials, with particular emphasis on surfaces, interfaces, and thin films. It examines the relationships between electronic structure, chemical bonding, surface structure, and the resulting physical and chemical properties of materials. Particular attention is paid to experimental methods for the preparation and characterization of surfaces, as well as to their properties and applications. Emphasis is placed on the selection of appropriate analytical techniques, interpretation of experimental results, and integration of complementary analytical methods for the comprehensive characterization of surfaces and surface-engineered materials.
