Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Know the laws of classical electrodynamics, optics, atomic physics and quantum mechanics, as well as the basics of mathematical analysis and the theory of function of a complex variable. Be able to apply previous knowledge of mathematical analysis, differential and integral equations and mathematical physics to solve problems of electrodynamics, atomic physics and quantum mechanics. Have the skills of integrating rational functions, transforming complex numbers, solving equations into partial derivatives, processing experimental data and plotting graphs using the software package "Origin". Have the skills to solve problems on the passage of a particle through a potential barrier, to determine the forces of interaction of systems of different configurations.
Course content
The course "Experimental Methods of Nanosystems" considers a complex of phenomena that occur during the diffraction and absorption of X-rays by small-sized and nano-sized systems of various nature, the interaction of probes of various types with the surface of condensed systems, as well as the passage of light rays through submicron diaphragms and allow obtaining information about atomic -spatial, electronic and magnetic structure of nanosystems. The learning outcomes are the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to plan experimental studies of nanosystems by scanning probe microscopy, low-angle X-ray scattering, EXAFS, confocal and near-field optical microscopy, explanation of physical properties of nanosystems, evaluation of the experimental accuracy.

Lectures - 16 hours, laboratory work 14 hours, Self-study -60 hours, consultations
Assessment methods and criteria
1. Modular test 1 (10 points - 15 points). 2. Protection of laboratory works 1 - 3 (9 points - 18 points). P.1 and P.2. forms an overall assessment of the first content module. 3. Modular test 2 (10 points - 15 points). 4. Protection of laboratory work 4.5 (7 points - 12 points). P.3 and P.4. forms an overall assessment of the second content module. Final assessment in the form of an exam. A student is not admitted to the exam if he scored less than 36 points per semester. The grade for the exam cannot be lower than 24 points to get an overall positive grade for the course.
