*Description: 1.5 credit hours meeting for 1.5 hours one day a week. There will be a combined lecture component with laboratory exercises.
The course will cover the basics of the surface analysis techniques: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger spectroscopy, Diffraction techniques, depth profiling, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and more. The course begins with an overview of basic vacuum science, and includes several laboratory exercises utilizing the techniques presented.
