Overview
Microscopic methods play an essential role in nanomaterials characterization. Microscopic and X-ray based characterization of nanomaterials techniques are used for the determination of surface morphology and dispersion characteristics of nanomaterials. This course deals with details of these aspects, and will provide a fundamental understanding of morphological tools, such as instrumentation, sample preparation and different kinds of analyses, etc.

Description |
X-ray monochromators, a type of bent single crystal component, efficiently focus x-ray emissions. X-ray spot on the sample is determined by the size of electron spot on the anode. It is possible, therefore, to control the analysis area by selecting the appropriate X-ray spot size. |
Mental Challenge |
What is the process of producing X-ray monochromator? |
Quizzes and Activities |
Activity: Find and explain the performance of concentric hemispherical analyzer or CHA. |
