Course content
The discipline "Fundamentals of Modern Microscopy" is devoted to the study of the principles of operation of the atomic force microscope, the physics of the processes underlying the tunnel and confocal microscopes. The structure and main characteristics of atomic force, tunnel and fluorescent confocal microscopes are considered. The curriculum consists of two content modules: Within the framework of the first content module, the following issues are considered at the lectures: introduction to nanotechnologies; energy spectrum of electron carriers in low-dimensional systems; the principle of operation of the atomic force microscope; transport phenomena in low-dimensional structures. Within the framework of the second content module, the following issues are considered at the lectures: physical bases of tunnel microscope operation; methods of diagnostics and analysis of nanosystems by tunnel and confocal fluorescence microscopy; modern directions of diagnostics of nanostructures.
