The course includes lectures historical and methodological introduction; an overview of the basic concepts and definitions of key terms of synergetics; Description of experiments in which there are various phenomena of self-organization; familiarity of the reader with some methods of computer simulation of self-organization processes.

The course is designed for graduate students, undergraduates and students of science and engineering specializations interested in modern trends in science.

For the successful assimilation of the course requires knowledge of concepts in the volume university course in general physics, as well as familiarity with the history and methodology of physics. The course will be useful for everyone, beginners study problems associated with synergetics.

Sections of the course:

1. The emergence and formation of synergetics.

2. Basic notions and concepts of synergetics.

3. Self-organization in engineering and natural systems.

4. Synergetics and computer simulations.

5. The theory of self-organized criticality.

6. Perspectives of synergetics.

A course of lectures devoted to the experimental features and theoretical foundations of the analysis of the properties of solid surfaces and thin films. The mechanisms of the physical phenomena underlying the emission processes at the surface excited electron and ion beams, temperature and electrostatic fields high intensity. The analysis of the functioning principles of the high-vacuum units analytical devices (optics of charged particle, energy analyzers, mass analyzers, electron and ion guns, and radiation detectors of particles).

Designed for undergraduate and graduate students trained on a specialty "Physics of Condensed Matter."
