Advanced Methods for Surface Analysis
Examine the principles and operation of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Explore state-of-the-art methods for acquiring, processing and interpreting the analytical results. Perform hands-on experiments on XPS and AFM followed by data evaluation and interpretation. Mechanical Engineering 387R (Topic 9) and 397 (Topic: Adv Mthds for Srfce Anlysis) may not both be counted.
