Materials Chemistry II: Characterization Techniques

Graduate / Professional

This course aims to serve graduate and senior undergraduate students from various academic departments who are interested in learning advanced chemistry for performing materials-related research. Material characterization techniques including X-ray/electron diffraction, electron microscopy and integrated spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, X-ray spectroscopy (both lab and synchrotron based), and vibrational spectroscopy (including in-situ techniques) are introduced and discussed, with the focus on understanding fundamental structure-property correlations. Prerequisites: Undergraduate level general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and physical chemistry, or equivalent level of knowledge. ½ Course cr MW 9am-10:15am
