Physical and chemical analyses of materials

CH-410 / 3 crédits

Enseignant: Roussel Christophe

Langue: Anglais

Summary

The course relates on the use of electromagnetic (X-Ray) and corpuscular (electrons) radiations for physical and chemical analysis of solid materials.

Content

1. Fundamentals of beam interactions with materials

  • Matter excitation: elastic, inelastic interactions of X-ray photons and electrons with matter
  • Matter relaxation: spectrometry

2. Microscopy

  • Electron microscopy: Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopies
  • Scanning probe microscopy: Scanning Tunelling and Atomic Force Microscopies

3. Chemical analysis

  • Bulk analysis of materials: X-ray microanalysis and X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometries
  • Surface analysis of materials: X-Ray Photoelectron and Auger Electron Spectrometries

4. Chemiometry

  • Basics of statistics
  • Analyses of variance ANOVA
