learning outcomeThe students have learned basic methods to characterize
and analyze surfaces and interfaces.  Besides the knowledge of physical
and experimental principles, the students are able to evaluate common
aspects as well as differences of the methods.  Opportunities and
limitations of the individual techniques are clear to the students,
which enables them to choose the most appropriate combination of methods
in order to answer scientific questions in surface and interface
analytics.
contentElectron spectroscopy for element and bonding analysis;
Study of electronic properties by  excitation with photons or
metastable probe particles; Vibrational spectroscopy of surfaces and
interfaces; Characterization of structure and stoichiometry by
scattering and spectroscopy of ions and neutral atoms; Mass spectrometry
