This course provides students with fundamental understanding on principles and techniques of modern materials analysis and characterization with emphasis on analysis of metallic and electronic materials. Fundamental knowledge on crystal structures of materials and microstrucutres of materials will be reviewed. Principles, instruments and techniques on optical microscopy, transmission and scanning electron-microscopy (SEM/TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), electron beam spectral diffraction (EBSD), and Raman spectroscopy are explained in details.
THIS COURSE IS AN EMI COURSE AND IS TAUGHT IN ENGLISH.
