The course consists of three parts: X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy analysis and other microanalyses (electron microprobe, ion microprobe, low-energy electron diffraction, Auger electron spectrometer, field-ion microscope, scanning tunnel microscope,atomic force microscope,X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, etc.). The main contents includephysical fundamentals for X-ray diffraction, principles of X-ray diffraction and its applications in materials research, fundamentals for electron optics, principles for electron diffraction and contrast imaging of thin crystal films, structures and applications of transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope as well as other common surface microanalysis methods.
Materials Science and Engineering
材料工程是研究材料成分、结构、工艺、性能与用途有关知识和应用的学科，涉及物质的性质及其在各个科学和工程学领域的整合应用，研究材料的制备或加工工艺、材料的微观结构与材料宏观性能三者之间的相互关系。
