FYS-2306 Electron Spectroscopy, 5 cr

Implementation FYS-2306 2019-01

Description

After completing the course, the student will be able to define the physical operation principles of electron spectroscopy methods such as XPS, AES, ARUPS and EXAFS. The student will learn how to apply the electron spectroscopy methods to identify elemental distribution of solid surfaces, nanostructures and molecular structure of surface compounds. During the course the student will learn to solve surface analytic research problems in tutorial learning sessions (groups of 4-6 students) based on the shared expertise of the group members. The student will master the skills required to report the results of the learning assignments using Moodle learning management system as well as in the form of a written report. This course is based on a blended learning method with 'flipped classroom' type of activities, so please bring your laptop/tablet/smart phone to the learning sessions.
