CHEM ENG 7101 - Materials Characterisation

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2019

The objective of the course will be to introduce fundamental technological principles and applications of advanced characterisation techniques (e.g. TEM, SEM, AFM, STM, XPS, Raman, UV-visible-NIR, FTIR, photoluminescence) used to establish the physical and chemical properties of materials at the nanoscale. On successful completion of this course students will be able to: - Understand and discuss the basic principles of advanced characterisation techniques (e.g. electronic microscopy, atomic force microscopy); - Explain and correlate the structure-property of materials at the nanoscale by different characterisation techniques; - Define the basic properties and characteristics of materials by analysing their properties through a set of characterisation techniques; - Discuss the basic principles of advanced characterisation techniques; - Apply and select appropriate techniques for characterising specific chemical and physical properties of materials; and - Demonstrate the basic aspects of advanced materials and their applications, such as electronic materials, optical materials, magnetic materials, biomaterials.
