Course description

Advanced Characterization Techniques involve sophisticated methods used to analyze and understand the properties of materials at various scales. These techniques include tools like scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and spectroscopy. They enable the examination of structural, chemical, and physical properties with high precision. These methods are crucial in fields such as materials science, nanotechnology, and biomedicine for developing new materials and improving existing ones.
