Physical Sience and Technical Research

In order to cultivate students innovative consciousness and ability, the changing their way of thinking is primarily important. By introducing condensed matter physics experiments into undergraduate teaching in advance, which can train students in innovative thinking at the academic frontier. This paper selects a typical example of case in the field of surface physics, i.e. mercaptan molecular self-assembly structure, combined with the ultra-high vacuum and low temperature scanning tunneling microscope technique, uses the experimental exploration method of controlling variables, and introduces a set of independently designed experimental teaching scheme based on the knowledge learned in quantum mechanics and solid physics, as well as the method of how to change students thinking mode in this experimental teaching. In addition to training innovative thinking in the experiment, we also integrate the curriculum thought and politics into the experimental teaching, thereby guide students to establish the learning concept of analyzing the essence of physics based on physical phenomena, the awareness of independent problem-solving, reverse thinking and engineering thinking, and help students establish a practical and realistic dialectical materialist world outlook and values.
