Content
This course provides an overview of advanced materials characterization techniques, focusing on modern Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) combined with Focused Ion Beam (FIB) systems (dual-beam), as well as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Atom Probe Tomography (APT).
These techniques enable multimodal imaging and a wide range of analytical methods, which will be discussed and compared in terms of their capabilities for both elemental and structural characterization.
The course aims to introduce the fundamental principles behind each technique, present their characterization possibilities, and demonstrate how their combined use can provide a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of materials.
