Objectives

This course is an introducton to the chemical physics of surfaces and nanostructured materials. Topics discussed will cover the morphology and electronic structure of surfaces, surface thermodynamics, dynamics of surface phenomena, formation of surface compounds as well as the mechanical properties and reactivity of surfaces.
