Teaching Material
PY5019
Syllabus
The module aims at providing foundation of electron microscopy and focused ion microscopy filling gaps in undergraduate education and allowing Research PhD students to take on research projects requiring advanced characterization of the microstructure and composition of materials down to the atomic limit.
On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
- Understand the physics of image formation and microanalysis in electron microscopy.
- Understand various microscopy techniques of conventional and analytical electron microscopy like selected area diffraction, convergent beam diffraction, bright and dark field imaging, high resolution imaging, Z-contrast, etc. and know their capabilities and limits.
- Know how to apply these methods in materials research.
