The course is focused on key experimental techniques for studying electronic structure and surfaces of solid materials. Relevant theoretical models are also discussed. First the concept of electron theory in condensed matter and fundamentals of electromagnetic field - matter interaction are introduced. Next, important classes of experimental methods are discussed: photoelectron spectroscopies, scanning probe microscopies, surface diffraction methods, angle-resolved methods, and spin selective methods. The course is completed with a series of examples on real materials.
