This course is targeted at physics students in their fourth year. It aims at introducing key concepts in surface and interface science, with a focus on electronics structures. The course will provide an overview of interfacial phenomena and relevant applications, introduce their underlying physical principles, and aims to build the analytical skills to describe these phenomena mathematically. Topics include the thermodynamics of surface phenomena, Schottky barriers and band offsets in semiconductors, band engineering, and analytical techniques such as photoemission. This course thus will equip you with the relevant concepts of modern science and technology that will prepare you to follow or initiate research in the field or to work in industry jobs related to applied nanoscience and technology.
