This course concerns the operation of modern electron microscopes as
well as the techniques used in analytical electron microscopy. The
following questions will be addressed:
1.) Why doing electron microscopy?
2.) How does an electron microscope work?
3.) How does an electron beam interact with the sample?
4.) Which information can we gain in electron microscopy?
5.) How to use an electron beam as a supercontinuum light source?
Various imaging and analytical methods for structural characterization
and investigation of the electronic properties of different material
classes are dealt with. By learning about the advantages, disadvantages
and requirements of each method, the students are enabled to decide
which methods in electron microscopy are the most suitable to address
the respective scientific question.
The course is accompanied by the "Practical Course in Electron Microscopy - Basics and Application" (4020225105).
This lecture will be held in English.
