Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
In materials science, it is essential to understand a material to characterize it, that is to say, to analyze its physical and chemical properties. There are many characterization techniques that are based on different basic physical principles derived from mechanics, thermodynamics, and interactions with radiation. As part of this learning, students will discuss characterization techniques through 10 (4-hour sessions each) practical works that will allow them to use some of them available at the University (Institut Matériaux) or in (international) research centers (Materia Nova, ORNL, NIST, CEA, ...). For more complex techniques not directly accessible, seminars, video conferences or visits to large instruments will be offered.
Among these techniques, we will find :
- Mechanical tests
- Contact angle measurements
- Ellipsometry (in collaboration with the Laboratoire de Physique des Matériaux et Optique)
- X-ray spectroscopy and spectrometry (XPS, AES, UPS, EELS, EDX,...)
- X-ray diffraction
- X-ray scattering (SAXS, WAXS, ...)
- Infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR)
- Neutron diffusion and diffraction
- Mass spectrometry (SIMS)
- Thermal analyses (DSC, TGA, DMA, ...)
- Local probe microscopy techniques (STM, AFM, ...)
- Electronic microscopy (TEM, SEM, ...)
- Super-high-resolution optical microscopy (STED, PALM, SIM, ...)
- ...
Content of UE
During this course, students will conduct experiments (alone or in small groups) and/or attend demonstration sessions (possibly via video conferencing) using different experimental techniques (vide supra). At the end of these sessions, reports will be requested and will serve as the basis for the final evaluation.
