Course detail
Organic Nanostructures at Inorganic Surfaces
FSI-9ONA Acad. year: 2022/2023 Winter semester
The emphasis is laid on understanding of physical and chemical properties of organic -inorganic interfaces: structure and morphology of organic layers/nanostructures, electronic band alignment, substrate-adsorbate charge transfer, optical properties.
1. Review of an essential knowledge from solid state physics, physical chemistry and surface science.
2. Physics and chemistry of surfaces and interfaces. Prototypical metal-metal, metal-semiconductor interfaces.
3. Molecular layers on solid surfaces: formation of interface in vacuum and liquid, elementary processes – adsorption, bonding, diffusion. Influence of kinetics and thermodynamics; self-assembly.
4. Electronic, magnetic and optical properties: electronic level alignment, charge transfer, magnetic interaction and screening.
5. Self-assembled monolayers (SAM): formation, control and functional properties. Colloidal nanoparticles. Molecular self-assembly on solid surfaces.
6. Experimental methods for determination of structural, chemical, electronic and optical properties of organic-inorganic interfaces.
7. Devices featuring organic layers and nanostructures.
