(P4F5 and P4F5A)
The study program covers all aspects of surface physics and thin film technology. It is based on knowledge of physical and chemical properties of solid state surfaces and interfaces and of physical processes related. Studies include problems of basic research in material science and nanophysics, study of surface structures and processes at atomic level, surface catalysis as well as borderline disiplines such as fuel cell technology. Experimental approach is in close relation with theoretical study of problems. The program prepares professionals with a broad foundation in physics, with rich experience in advanced surface experimental techniques and with deep knowledge of surface physics and chemistry.
Research fields are more or less defined by the current projects at our department and it similarly applies to the cooperating institutes of Czech Academy of Sciences.
Nanomaterials group deals with the preparation and characterization of nanomaterials. It aims especially for efficient catalysts for fuel cells and electrolyzers as well as for gas or bio sensors:
Thin film Group is focused on STM/AFM characterization of interactions of single atoms and organic molecules with various surfaces:
Surface Physics Group is focused on the investigation of physicochemical properties of technologically relevant surfaces and surface nanostructures:
It's always a good idea, if you find a topic for you, to contact supervisor first, i.e., prior application!
