Course Aims

The course provides fundamental knowledge on modern technologies for thin films and nanomaterials synthesis, and it equips the students with knowledge in processing both pure elementary materials and compounds that can be prepared in crystalline, polycrystalline, nanocrystalline or amorphous forms. Various growth techniques, their working principles and characteristics are discussed in details. The practical applications of these techniques are demonstrated.
The course is designed as a practical guide in thin film deposition used in industry and science. It also stimulates ingenuity in experiment and material processing design as well as inventiveness in development of novel materials and nanomaterials. The course represents an important interface between the school and industrial and scientific practice.
