PHYS-E0525 - Microscopy of Nanomaterials D, 12.01.2021-14.04.2021

Guest access

Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, students will understand the basic microscopy theory for electron microscopes and learns how to use following microscopy methods for material science applications:

1. Transmission electron microscopy TEM

2. Scanning electron microscopy SEM

3. Atomic force microscopy

4. Electron microscopy tomography
