Seminars
Experimental work in labs
Summary
The subject follow up the lectures on scanning probe microscopy and electron microscopy. Applications of the methods (electron microscopy and microanalysis, AFM) will be practiced. Problems of chemical, structure and phase analysis of materials in micro- and nano- dimensions will be solved. Attention will be focused also on the samples preparation, results evaluation and interpretation of the results in nanotechnology.
