Key Summary
Surface and plasma physics is a master's degree program of interdisciplinary character that includes fundamental knowledge of interactions of neutral and charged particles in vacuum, gas, and condensed phases and on the interfaces of these environments. The program provides expertise in surface physics and thin films, especially atomic and molecular nanostructures on solid surfaces with a significant link to physico-chemical and transport processes with applications in the field of catalysts, sensors, or molecular electronics. The program in the field of laboratory and cosmic plasma physics covers the fields of plasma chemistry, hot and fusion plasma, and distinct topics in astrophysics. During the course of study, the use of modern diagnostic methods in material research, vacuum and plasma technologies, and in the analysis of various kinds of space plasma or controlled thermonuclear fusion can be adopted. Individual disciplines can be oriented experimentally, theoretically, or solved by computer physics methods.
Graduates have advanced knowledge in surface physics, plasma physics, and related experimental methods and computer modeling practices with a solid foundation in general areas of physics and mathematics. The acquired knowledge and skills can apply both in basic and applied research at higher education institutions, academic institutions, scientific and technological centers, as well as in the industry and public administration.
