Features

  • Examines scanning tunneling microscopy, which has revolutionized materials characterization in terms of providing real space imaging
  • Explores the advent of field emission guns, atomistically-resolved imaging microscopy, and energy-filtered microscopy
  • Introduces the physical concepts in X-ray reflectivity and highlights their use with thin film structures
  • Discusses ultrasonics, including various transducers, improved generation and detection methods, and image processing methodologies
  • Provides an overview of colloidal systems and confocal microscopy in the study of soft condensed matter
  • Covers positron annihilation and various positron beam based techniques
  • Delves into Brillouin scattering as applied to hard materials
  • Summary

    Materials characterization is an important area of fundamental and technological interest. Over the years, a variety of experimental techniques have been developed for characterizing the physical and chemical properties of materials. Advances in Materials Characterization offers an overview of this continually emerging discipline by providing an in-depth exploration of the latest techniques. It brings together a highly authoritative collection of articles written by experts from across the world who have been active in pioneering the techniques. Each chapter provides an introduction and an overview of the technique, and then proceeds to demonstrate its application to selected problems.
