Pirmdien 21.novembrī
Lecture 1: 14:00-15:30 Modelling point defects and polarons in materials for microelectronics This lecture will focus on challenges and results of modelling defects and defect processes in advanced polycrystalline oxides and interfaces in microelectronic devices. It will consider defects in the bulk and at grain boundaries of HfO2 and ZrO2 and their interfaces with metals and silicon. Lecture 2: 16:00-17:30 Photo-induced defect processes at oxide surfaces and interfaces This lecture presents discussion of the mechanisms of photo-induced desorption of oxide surfaces and will use MgO and CaO as examples. It will demonstrate how one can use photons to selectively excite and desorb atoms at oxide surfaces. Otrdien, 22.novembrī
Lecture 3: 14:00-15:30 Interaction of functionalized organic molecules with ionic surfaces This lecture will describe the mechanisms of adsorption and diffusion of functionalized organic molecules on ionic surfaces, such as TiO2, KBr and NaCl, and will demonstrate how diffusion of organic molecules can lead to restructuring ionic surfaces. Lecture 4: 16:00-17:30 Atomic Force Microscopy: Imaging and manipulating surface defects in oxides This lecture will describe the mechanisms of contrast formation in Atomic Force Microscopy and will show how AFM can be used to image and manipulate defects at oxide surfaces. It will describe a multi-scale approach to modelling complex processes at surfaces. LZA augstceltnes Lielajā zālē 2.stāvā
Trešdien, 23.novembrī plkst.14.00 Latest achievements and problems of quantum chemistry of solids (discussion) This lecture-discussion will give a very general overview of the current ability of first-principle methods in theoretical prediction of functional material properties with for high tech applications as well as analysis of unsolved problems. It is planned that different views on progress in this very rapidly developing field will be also presented by other experts, including Prof. R.A. Evarestov (St.Petersburg University), E.A. Kotomin, Yu. Zhukovskii (LU CFI) and others.
