MEGR 7163 - Materials Characterization and Analysis

Designed for graduate students to gain an in-depth understanding of principal methods in materials characterization and analysis. Students learn different techniques of materials characterization and analysis, including: (1) structure identification using electron and X-ray diffractions, (2) morphology study using electron microscopy, (3) composition and chemical state determination using electron spectroscopy and other techniques. Focuses on fundamental concepts of different methods, as well as hands-on experience. Well-designed lab sessions are provided for students to practice selected techniques using different instruments (e.g., XRD, SEM, EDS, and sputtering coating).
