Course content
During this curse the student will learn about the basic measuring techniques for material science. Possibilities and limitations of techniques will be given together with a description when to use particular measuring method. Microscopic, diffraction, resonance and thermoanalytical techniques for material testing will be introduces. Comparison of the possibilities of optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopy will be given. Atomic force microscope, scanning tunneling microscopy will be explained. Basics of X-ray diffraction, electron and Neutron diffraction will be given followed by thermogravimetry, direct scanning calorimetry and dilatometry. Measurements of electrical and transport properties such as electrical conductivity, thermoelectric force, will be explained. Resonance methods will be also described. The course will be complemented of a sample preparation discussion and data analysis. Occupational safety and health aspects will be underlined.
Purpose of class
Understanding of the principle of operation of the covered measuring techniques. The students are aware of the possibilities and limitations of the characterizations methods. The students learn how to handle professional equipment. The students will learn how to interpret at the measured results and learn what type of software can be used for data analysis. After taking the class, the students will be able to design study plan for testing their materials by themselves.
Goals and objectives
  1. The students are able to choose the appropriate measuring technique that is suitable for the investigation of their samples.
  2. The students understand principle, know advantages and limitations of the described techniques.
  3. The students are able to analyze the results using appropriate software.
