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 classes,
demonstrations of equipment, and laboratory work. Participation in demonstrations and laboratory
exercises is mandatory. Students complete a project to solve a scientific problem in a suitable area, and present the results both orally and in writing. The methods treated are optical and electron-microscopy (OM, SEM, and TEM), diffraction methods (XRD, EBSD), auger spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, optical surface profilometry, and thermal analysis.
