FYS5310 - Electron Microscopy, Electron Diffraction and Spectroscopy II

Course content

Theory of elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons. Dynamic scattering theory: Bloch-wave and multi-slice theory. Absorption and diffuse scattering. Electron channelling: Emission of secondary radiation and ALCHEMI. High resolution electron microscopy (HREM), convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), electron energy taps spectroscopy (EELS), electron holography. Applications of electron diffraction, electron microscopy, and spectroscopy in structure research. Determination of crystal and electron structure.

Learning outcomes

The students should achieve necessary knowledge of modern methods in electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and spectroscopy on a master/ph.d.-level.

Admission

Please note that the Department of Physics requires that you register in the beginning of May for advanced courses in physics which are taught in the fall term. See http://www.fys.uio.no/studier/kvalitetsreformen/mastergrader/pameldingsskjema_h.html for further information.

Courses with less than three students registrered will normally be cancelled.

Students at UiO must apply for courses in StudentWeb.

International applicants, if you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.

Prerequisites

Recommended prior knowledge

FYS4340 - Diffraction methods and electronmicroscopy

Overlap

10 credits against FYS9320 - Electron Microscopy, Electron Diffraction and Spectroscopy II.

10 credits overlap against FYS435.

Teaching

The course extends over a full semester with 4 hours of teaching per week (lectures and colloquia).

Exam information

A midterm exam where the students should present a summary of a subject which has been lectured. This summary can be presented by writing a short report (approx. 5 pages) or by an oral presentation (approx. 30 minutes). In addition a final oral exam (primo December). Letter grade.
