Summary
The course presents a description of two-years educational master program with advanced lectures and practical training related to Nanofilms and Multicomponent Nanostructured Coatings. The program is dedicated to the first year graduate students (master's course) who specialize in the field of Materials Science and Advanced Technologies of Surface Engineering.
The course consists of a number of lectures about fundamentals and most recent developments in the fields of plasma physics and surface engineering. The educational master program describes the advanced methods of surface modification and deposition of nanofilms and multicomponent nanostructured coatings, the investigation methods of their structure (elemental and phase composition, grain size, texture, morphology, surface topography, structure of the grain boundaries, dislocation structure, etc.) and properties (hardness, Young's modulus, elastic recovery, friction and wear, impact resistance, electrochemical characteristics) as well as novel characterization technique and standards.
The lectures are accompanied by a large number of seminars which will help the students to obtain the necessary competencies. In addition, practical training in various fields is organized using advanced equipment available at the Scientific-Educational Center of SHS and the Test Laboratory of Functional Surfaces to help students to improve their knowledge and competence in the field of Nanofilms.
Important part of the course is that every student is involved in the real experimental and theoretical research under supervision of senior staff by individual working plan. This work includes the preparation of literature overview, preparation of experimental samples, their characterization and testing, preparation of the final report and oral presentation of the results at the laboratory seminar.
To conclude that the experimental/theoretical master work is successful it is obligatory to publish the results obtained at least in one review journal (international or from the list of Highest Attestation Commission of RF) and present it at one seminar or conference for young scientists.
