Area: | Department of Applied Physics |
Credits: | 25.0 |
Contact Hours: | 4.0 |
Lecture: | 2 x 1 Hours Weekly |
Other Requisite(s): | Admission: to the Physics honours program
|
Syllabus: | Probing materials with electrons - imaging modes of the transmission and scanning electron microscopes, lattice imaging, selected area diffraction patterns, electrons loss spectroscopy. Rietveld characterisation of polycrystalline biological materials - diffraction studies, high-resolution synchrotron radiation. Nano-structured materials - design concepts and strategies, processing methods, novel nanostructured microstructures and properties. Nanostructure characterisation and modelling using Small Angle Scattering - fundamentals of small angle scattering (SAXS and SANS). |
| |
Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit students will be able to describe the structure of solid material at the nanometer level, appreciate how modelling methods are able to explain observed small angle scattering data, demonstrate an understanding of thetechniques used to characterise material at the atomic and nanometer level and explain and describe the terms used in the field of nanotechnology. |
