Lecture Interfaces
The interfacial regions
between bulk media, although often comprising only a fraction of the material
present, are frequently the site of reactions and phenomena that dominate the
macroscopic properties of the entire system. Hence, the understanding of the
self-organization of molecules at interfaces and their corresponding static and
dynamic properties defines a central theme of Colloids and Interface Science.
Linear and nonlinear
optical reflection techniques, X-ray and neutron scattering, and scanning probe
techniques are powerful tools in the armory of surface scientists that deepened
our understanding of interfacial architecture.
Our lecture is designed
for motivated students in the field of Colloid and Interface Science. The major
objective is to discuss modern surface analytical tools that increased our
understanding of fluid interfaces. Moreover, we discuss in depth the five laws
of Interface science: Hamaker, Gibbs, Kelvins, Youngs and Young-Laplace law.
Please note this lecture
is mandatory for all COSOM students.
The preliminary
discussion for the lecture Interfaces I will take place on Monday, October
16, 12.0.19 8 :15. The main goal is to find a date that suits
everyone. Furthermore, we can agree on the language of instruction.
If we cannot
identify a date, we could also organize a one-week block course at the end
of the term as an alternative.
