Scanning probe microscopies for the imaging of surfaces, particularly electroactive ones (Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy).

Applications to the characterization of inorganic and organic materials. Applications in the environmental, pharmaceutical, alimentary, industrial and quality control fields.

Laboratory experiments (1 CFU)
Laboratory experiments with a selection of electroanalytical techniques and applicative cases among those discussed in the course lessons, also employing Excel spreadsheets for experimental data processing.

Prerequisites for admission

Fundamentals of physical, analytical, inorganic and organic chemistry, generally already acquired in the fundamental courses of scientific Bachelor Degrees.

Teaching methods
