5PMNCAR0 : Materials Characterization - WPMNDCM9

The students are divided in small groups and each group choose a characterisation technique to work on. For each technique the bibliography is given by the professor but they are also free to add any other sources they find. At the end, they present their technique to the rest of the class and also elaborate a quizz to evaluate if the main messages are passed to the group. The presenation of each groupe is evaluated by the rest of the classe through an evaluation grille provided by the professor. (12 hours in total)

Classic mode of teaching :

• Electronic based characterisation techniques
• Electron Microscopy and associated techniques: SEM, EBSD, EBIC, TEM, EDS/WDS
• Other techniques: CL, AES, LEED, RHEED

• Ion based characterisation techniques
• Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS)
• Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS)

Cristallography, diffraction
