FKD3390 Physical Methods in Surface and Material Characterisation

Eligible for studies at the third-cycle level

• Methods and probes used in materials characterization.
• Surface Analysis
• Ion Beam Methods
• Microscopy
• Scanned Probe Methods
• Electron Microscopy
• Diffraction Methods
• Optical and Spectroscopic Methods
• Polymer Characterization

After completion of the course the doctoralstudent should have the knowledge and ability to

• demonstrate adequate acquired knowledge of the techniques to characterize surfaces and materials.
• Examine at least one of the techniques in greater depth, either as an example from own research or an example from the literature which is topical
• present and justify orally this study, and critically evaluate own and others’ presented studies.
• reflect on a selected materials characterisation problem with respect to solving it with tools from the course, and the environmental, human or societal aspects.
