Course: Characterization of Nano and Micro Layers
Description
The course "Characterization of Nano and Micro Layers" is a doctoral-level course that aims to provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in the characterization of nano and micro layers. The course covers various methods for characterizing the chemical composition, phase composition, architecture, and mechanical properties of thin layers.
Objectives
The objectives of the course are to:
- Provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in the characterization of nano and micro layers.
- Enable students to critically analyze existing scientific knowledge and practices in the field.
- Enable students to plan and conduct experiments, and to analyze and interpret the results.
Content
The course covers the following topics:
- Methods for characterizing the chemical composition of thin layers
- Methods for determining the phase composition of thin layers
- Methods for characterizing the architecture and microstructure of thin layers
- Methods for determining the mechanical properties of thin layers
- Tribological characterization of thin layers
- Corrosion resistance of thin layers
Teaching Methods
The course is taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, and laboratory work. The lectures provide an overview of the theoretical background and principles of the characterization methods, while the seminars and laboratory work provide hands-on experience with the methods and instruments used in the field.
