20 hours, optionally

The lectures are organized according to the students' needs in thematic blocks, which are followed by individual study and work on exercises. During the course student's work on semestral project.

The emphasis is laid on understanding of physical and chemical properties of organic -inorganic interfaces: structure and morphology of organic layers/nanostructures, electronic band alignment, substrate-adsorbate charge transfer, optical properties.
