After successful completion of the course, students are able to critically evaluate the suitability of materials characterization techniques for various applications in fundamental and applied research.
Overview of contemporary methods for sample characterization using physics-based techniques. The emphasis is on methods available at the TU Wien. The lecturers strive for a balanced presentation of methods, their underlying physical phenomena, and relevant applications.
Course Material is offered via the TUWEL.
Lecture with digital presentations of the physics behind the various techniques and their technical implementation. They are supplemented with blackboard drawings to describe various processes. Instrumentation, or parts of instrumentation, are shown in class to exemplify the technical realization.
Winter Semester 2021: The lecture will be given in hybrid modus. The lessons will take place in HS 6 from 15-16:30 each Thursday.
Students are invited and encouraged to attend these lectures in person. The policies regarding the coronavirus of TU Wien will be enforced.
The lectures will also be streamed via zoom. The zoom links can be accessed via TUWEL.
Successful completion of a written test. Questions probe the understanding of the workings of various methods, the underlying physical principles as well as their strengths, weaknesses, and applicability.
If permitted by TU Wien policies, tests will take place in person.
(If this is not possible, tests will be given remotely via TUWEL.)
