(3 units). Materials characterization techniques, methodologies of materials characterization: crystal structure, microstructural morphology, and Chemical microanalysis. The main methods of characterization include: (1) X-ray and electron diffractions; (2) optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, (3) X-ray and electron spectroscopy. The micro-analytical techniques include both qualitative and quantitative methods. Technical aspects of preparing samples and operating instruments are also introduced in order to help students acquire basic knowledge on practical aspects. Course Component: Lecture
