Materials Characterization

1 credits · Graduate

This 1-unit course will introduce specialized techniques used for the characterization of engineering materials beyond routine x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The course is designed to complement a basic course in x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy by introducing graduate students to characterization methods such as ion beam analysis, magnetic measurements, synchrotron techniques, scanning probe techniques, neutron scattering, optical spectroscopy and dynamic characterization.
