Description:
The course covers the interactions of electromagnetic radiation, electrons,
and ions with materials and their application
in various spectroscopies and microscopies in the characterization of materials.
Students learn the benefits and limitations
of techniques such as x-ray diffraction and x-ray, IR, UV, electron and
ion spectroscopies
and various electron microscopies
and scanning probe microscopy.
