Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to enable students to learn microscopy techniques (SEM, TEM, HRTEM, STEM, STM, AFM and EDX) used in the characterization of materials and to understand how these techniques are used in nanotechnological applications. By understanding the basic principles, advantages and limitations of these methods, students will gain the ability to perform structural, mechanical and chemical analysis of nanomaterials. They will also explore the integration of these techniques and their advanced applications.
Course Content
This course covers the fundamentals and applications of SEM, TEM, HRTEM, STEM, STEM, STM, AFM and EDX analysis techniques for the characterization of materials. Students will learn the working principles of each microscopy method and gain the ability to analyze the structural, mechanical and chemical properties of nanomaterials. In addition, the integration of these techniques and their use in nanotechnological applications is a major focus of the course.
Course Precondition
There is no prerequisite for this course.
