Aim: To give the student a knowledge of experimental methods that are used for the analysis of the microscopical structure of materials. The ultimate aim is to make the student able to choose the right methods for solving problems in materials science and technology.
Contents: Review of the most important experimental methods for the analysis of the microscopical structure of materials, e.g. X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy, electron microscopy, neutron diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy and electron spectroscopy. The methods will be illustrated by selected subjects in materials science, e.g. studies of corrosion in steel, surface coatings, alloys, catalysts, magnetic materials, semiconductor crystals, etc.
