Graduate Course in Science I - 750:627 (Also - Special Topics in Physical , 160:541) Fall Semester, 2002

We are offering a two-semester course in the academic year 2002-2003 dealing with experimental and theoretical aspects of surface science. The course will be jointly taught by members of the and chemistry departments: R. Bartynski (Physics), E. Garfunkel (Chemistry), K. Burke (Chemistry), T. E. Madey (Physics and Chemistry), and K. Rabe (Physics). In the second semester, there will also be lectures by T. Gustafsson (Physics), B. J. Hinch (Chemistry), and F. Zimmermann (Physics).

Course Title: Surface Science Physics listing 750:627 Chemistry listing 160:541 Classes meet Wednesday (SEC 208) and Friday (NPL Conference Room), 11:30 - 12:50 Fall Semester, 2002

The purpose of the course is to acquaint students in physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering with the static and dynamic behavior of clean and adsorbate-covered and interfaces, from both theoretical and experimental points of view. Topics will include geometrical structure, surface morphology, electronic structure, surface composition, kinetics and dynamics (, scattering, vibrations, diffusion, desorption), structure and reactivity of surface , non-thermal excitations of surfaces, and surface reactions. Surfaces of metals, oxides and semiconductors will be considered, as well as solid-solid and solid- interfaces. Modern ultrahigh experimental methods will be discussed: theoretical basis, experimental aspects, and data interpretation.

The first semester will emphasize theoretical and experimental aspects of the electronic and geometric structure of surfaces, and an introduction to adsorption, desorption and diffusion. In the second semester, we will emphasize important surface processes, including and scattering, dynamical phenomena, and surface reactions. In addition, we will discuss several important applied areas (e.g., semiconductor processing, nanoscience, ) where surface science techniques are being exploited.
