A survey on surface characterization (XPS, Auger, RBS, SIMS), advanced microscopy (SEM, TEM), bulk chemical analysis (EDX, EELS, atom-probe), optical and X-ray, as well as physical, thermal, and mechanical characterization techniques. Audience: students with other-than-materials science background.Content
LECTURES:
How to find, read and comment a scientific paper: what is the message, the motivation, the methods used ?
How to use web of science /scopus etc.
Description of modern experimental techniques:
- what physical principle is it based on, what kind of information can be gained
- what type of samples, preparation
- what are the method's limits, sensitivity, resolution
- typical time, costs etc.
Chemical characterization: EDX, EELS
Tomographic methods (X-ray, Electron microscopy, atom-probe)
Surface analysis: Auger, XPS, RBS, SIMS
Electrical properties: measurement of conductivity and mobility, photocurrent spectroscopythermal
Optical techniques: micro/macro photoluminescence, photolumnescence excitation spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy
Scanning probe techniques.AFM, STM, MFM, SNOM
Mechanical and thermal properties: Elastic resonance, speed of sound, Dilatometry, DSC, fracture energy, Laser flash, steady state conductivity
Presentation of a scientific paper: summarizing the findings, are the methods used adequate, comment on the results, what is the context, rating (quality, importance). Answering questions.
