Materials characterisation
7.5 ECTS creditsThe aim of the course is that students acquire the basic theoretical and practical knowledge of the modern methods of materials characterisation that are used in industrial and academic research and development work. The course also prepares students for further studies and for master-level degree projects in materials science.
The course consists of several parts, one for each method treated. Instruction is in the form of classes, and demonstration of equipment and laboratory project. The methods treated are optical and electron-microscopy (OM, SEM, and TEM), diffraction methods (XRD, EBSD), Auger spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, optical profilometry, and thermal analysis.
