The assessment of a student is made upon his performance in practice and quality of a discussion on topics selected at the examination (lecture notes allowed at preparation).
The subject is taught through seminars and laboratory experiments via active participation of students. The presence of students at practice is obligatory and is monitored by a tutor. The way how to compensate missed practice lessons will be decided by a tutor depending on the range and content of the missed lessons.

The goal is to provide an overview on the methods of fabrication of nanostructures (nanosystems, and nanostructured materials) and with perspectives for their applications.

Students will get an overview of the current state of the rapidly growing multidisciplinary field of nanotechnology. In the theoretical part, they gain an overview of the historical foundations and contexts of the field and the physical principles and laws applicable in the "nanoworld". They will also be acquainted with the technological methods of preparation of nanostructures (nanosystems and nanostructured materials) as well as their prospective applications.
In the practical part the students will obtain the experimental methods of nanostructure and surface study, as well as with the preparation of nanostructures with the combination of electron lithography, ion technologies and scanning probe microscopy methods. and other methods.
