• To give the theoretical notions of surface characterization and also to provide the experimental basis in order to understand the potential of different techniques used.
• To have the opportunity to participate in an analysis, from the setting up of samples to the acquisition and interpretation of analytical data, thanks to the means made available.
• To present the complementarity between laboratory and X-ray based techniques for the study of different physical and chemical surface phenomena.

TEACHING METHOD
In the framework of a multi-disciplinary approach joining together specialists of materials science, solid-state physics, physico-chemical interface from CEA, Synchrotron SOLEIL and Paris-Sud University, it will be possible to describe the global behaviour of the surface from the microstructure and physical mechanisms at the micro- and nanoscopic scales.
