Surface Characterization by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Low Energy Electron Diffraction
This training module introduces basic understanding of the structure and the preparation of single crystal surfaces which are often the template for advanced growth of organic thin film structures. In this module the student will learn basic concepts which governs the structure formation at surface as well as the experimental techniques to address the specific surface structure on a atom-by-atom basis. Starting from the prerequisite of an well-defined ultra-high vacuum environment and their practical realization, topics as surface preparation and cleaning will be discussed and trained. Finally lab courses on practical scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) are included in the training module which allow to combine achieved understanding with hands-on experiments on state-of-the-art STM.
