Learning experimental techniques in materials science. Mastering technical analysis of the internal structure of materials. Knowing methods for determining the distribution of atomic units and molecular materials and their interaction. Get advanced training in Materials Science
Obtain advanced training that enables students to learn the main concepts underlying this subject and apply them in this subject area, but also in more advanced technical applications. The program includes an introduction to key material characterization techniques so that students can objectively choose from those techniques the ones that best fit the material/device characterization concerned. The student will be able to recognize that the response of materials and devices to external parameters such as temperature, electric/magnetic field, pressure, etc. can be studied with various techniques and thus provide valuable information about the properties of condensed matter, as well as the performance of certain technologically relevant devices. In particular, students will be able to recognize the role of cryogenics, electrical/magnetic and structural/spectroscopic properties in the current context of materials studies both in academia and in companies, thus gaining important base knowledge of experimental techniques in material characterization.
Techniques for determining the elemental composition and chemical structure of phases and phase transitions, microstructural analysis, mechanical characterization, dielectric, electrical and magnetic. Infrared and Raman spectroscopies. Nuclear magnetic resonance. Optical techniques and electro-optics. Diffusion of neutrons. Studies with synchrotron radiation.
Notes of the course
Classes will be used to presenting the theoretical basis of the technique and to establishing contact with its operation and related problems with its implementation.
