Synopsis:

Methods of materials analysis with a focus on structural, phase, texture and analysis of lattice defects and determination of residual stresses (X-ray and electron diffractography). Imaging methods: light and electron microscopy (sample preparation and imaging characteristics, contrast theory). Advanced imaging methods and chemical microanalysis: scanning electron microscopy.

Requirements:
Syllabus of lectures:

•Advanced imaging and diffraction methods I - scanning electron microscopy,

•Advanced imaging and diffraction methods II - transmission electron microscopy and diffraction

•X-ray diffraction). High-energy and low-energy electron diffraction.

•Determination of texture
