Characterisation of materials for Physicists
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course consists of several parts, one for each method treated. Instruction is in the form of lectures,
demonstrations of equipment, and laboratory work.The methods treated are optical and electron-microscopy (OM, SEM, TEM), diffraction methods (XRD, EBSD), spectroscopy (auger, XPS, EDS), scanning tunnel microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and thermal analysis.
One laboratory session is focused on transmission electron microscopy.
