Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Description of some current research areas within the area of molecules and materials at interfaces, and their technological importance.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course you should have / be able to:

  • Insight into how molecules and materials are investigated with selected modern methods.
  • Understanding of how molecular properties at interfaces and materials interfacial properties are of importance for development of some important technical areas.
  • Sufficient knowledge to view one owns resarch project from a cross-disciplinary context.
  • Clearly account for some experimental techniques that can provide important information on properties of molecules and materials at interfaces in one current research project.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

To pass the course reguires:

  • Active participation in the workshop
  • Correct answer to questions provided at the workshop
  • Individuel written account for how molecules and materials at interfaces is of importance in an on-going research project. The report should include a description of which infromation that is obtained from the techniques being used, and which additional techniques that would provide important information. After approval the report will be provided to all participants.

Other requirements for final grade

  • Active participation in the workshop
  • Correct answer to questions provided at the workshop
  • Individuel written account for how molecules and materials at interfaces is of importance in an on-going research project. The report should include a description of which infromation that is obtained from the techniques being used, and which additional techniques that would provide important information. After approval the report will be provided to all participants.
