Scope

The summer school is dedicated to elucidate fundamental processes at the solid-liquid interface. The school offers introductory lectures on physico-chemical concepts, electrochemistry and state-of-the-art theoretical approaches. An emphasis will be on scanning force microscopy and related techniques for providing nano-scale insight into structure and processes at the solid-liquid Interface.
