Examination:  13-scale
Previous course:  10253
Prerequisites:  10100 (or a corresponding course)
Aim:  To give the student insight into experimental methods, which are used for the analysis of the microscopic structure of materials. To make the student able to choose the right methods for solving problems in materials science and technology.
Contents:  Review of a number of experimental methods for the analysis of materials.
The course is taught by a number of teachers from different DTU departments and possibly also from institutions outside DTU. There will be approximately three lectures in the morning session. In the afternoon session there will be experimental activities, demonstrations, visits to laboratories, problem solving etc. The course will give introductions to the following techniques with teachers from the departments mentioned in parantheses: X-ray diffraction (FYS), electron spectroscopy (FYS), Mössbauer spectroscopy (FYS), transmission- and scanning electron microscopy (IPT), optical microscopy (IPT), atomic force and scanning tunnelling microscopy (FYS / MIC), Rutherford back scattering (MIC), and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (MIC). The detailed contents may vary from year to year and the relative weight may also vary.
