Microscopy, Spectroscopy and Diffraction - M2 QLMN

The goal of this course is to provide the student with a basic understanding of a set of microscopic, spectroscopic and diffraction techniques, particularly suited for nanoscience and condensed matter physics. Some of the different techniques to be explored include:

--scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)

--atomic force microscopy (AFM)

--transmission electron microscopy (TEM)

--scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

--electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS)

--X-ray diffraction

--X-ray absorption

--angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)

--X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD)
