Learning outcomes
Know the main current problems of modern physics. Have basic skills of theoretical and / or experimental research in certain special sections of physics, performed individually (autonomously) and / or as part of a research group. Be able to organize, interpret and summarize the obtained scientific and practical results, draw conclusions. Understand the relationship of physics with other natural and engineering sciences, be familiar with some (according to specialization) basic concepts of applied physics, materials science, engineering, chemistry, biology, etc., as well as with individual objects (technological processes) and natural phenomena, which is the subject of research in other sciences and, at the same time, may be the subject of physical research.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
The knowledge about general physics (sections "Electricity and Magnetism", "Optics", "Molecular Physics"), the principles of focusing light and electron beams. Be able to apply knowledge from the courses of mathematical analysis, differential and integral equations, mechanics to describe the motion of particles and construct diffraction and interference patterns. Have basic skills in conducting experiments and processing the results of experimental research.
Course content
The course "Fundamentals of nanosystems physics" examines the main features of nanosystems compared to bulk materials, methods of their characterization and creation, their basic physical properties and practical application of nanosystems. The purpose of studying the discipline is to obtain deep and systematic knowledge about the physical properties of nanosystems, the possibility of their formation through epitaxy, precipitation, oxidation, dispersion, lithography. The educational task of the course is also to master the principles of such methods of determining the parameters of such systems as electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, X-ray diffraction, various spectroscopy options; in addition, the acquisition of skills in determining the parameters of the structure by X-ray diffraction and determining the effect of nanoscale on the parameters of the structure and a number of physical properties

1. Semenko M.P. "Structural crystallography" (selected lectures on crystallography) for students of the Faculty of Physics.// Kyiv. - 2019 - 63 p. 2. Zakharenko M.I., Semenko M.P., "Methods of structural analysis" (guidelines for laboratory work on the course "Diffraction methods of condensed matter" Kyiv.- 2012.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures - 14 hours, laboratory work 30 hours, self-study - 46 hours, consultations.
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester assessment: survey during the lecture (up to 3 points during each of the two content modules); two modular tests (up to 7 points each), performance and delivery of laboratory work (up to 20 points during each of the two content modules). Final assessment in the form of an exam, maximum score of 40 points. A student is not allowed to take the exam if he / she scored less than 36 points during the semester. The grade for the exam cannot be less than 24 points to get an overall positive grade for the course.
