This course is a hands-on introduction to atomic force microscopy (AFM). It consists of lectures and practical exercises involving actual AFM use, macroscopic mechanical models of AFM, and computer simulations. Most lab work and the capstone research project will be done in teams of two or three students.
In this course, we discuss engineering aspects of soft materials. First, we cover different classes of soft matter systems, e.g. suspensions, gels, emulsion and foams, and introduce scaling principles to design their structural, mechanical and functional properties. Second, we cover essential characterisation techniques to interrogate the structure-property relations in soft materials.
Foundations of Materials Science I
Materialwissenschaftliche Grundlagen I
The basic physical concepts for the description of materials are taught, partly in self-study, and applied in exercises. Basic atomistic and macroscopic concepts (e.g. phase diagrams, phase transformations, response functions) are introduced through examples. Selected topics are deepened in classroom lectures.
Foundations of Materials Science II
Materialwissenschaftliche Grundlagen II
The basic physical concepts for the description of materials taught in the first semester are deepened in classroom lectures. The students familiarize with the most important materials classes (metals, polymers, ceramics and advanced materials, by self-study and receive topical advanced lectures by expert researchers on all topics.
Microscopy images, irrespective of the specific imaging technique, e.g. optical, electron or atomic force microscopy, are an extremely rich source of quantitative data. With the ever increasing push to enhance spatial and temporal resolution, as well as with the increase of storage and computing power, very large amounts of data are easily generated and require automation for data extraction.

This course teaches the basics of surface and interface science and technology, including surface modifications and forces. It covers various analytical techniques to study surface and interface properties, and explores phenomena of applied relevance like friction, lubrication, phoresis, and wetting where surfaces play a crucial role.
This course consists of a series of lectures, each focusing on a specific fundamental concept previously encountered by the student during basic courses, and on its direct relevance for soft materials and their applications (e.g. colloidal crystals, dense suspensions, emulsions, foams and liquid crystals).
