Students will learn about preparation methods and possible applications of thin films of polymers, metals and
inorganic compounds. An overview of physical and chemical methods of preparing thin films, including methods
based on low-temperature plasma, will be presented. Students will also learn about the methods of characterizing
thin films, including evaluation of their thickness, chemical composition, optoelectronic and mechanical
properties. The theoretical introduction to the subject will always be followed by a practical part, which will take
place directly in the KMF labs.
