The aim of this module is to introduce students to a variety of solid state analytical techniques, including transmission and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray and electron diffraction. Emphasis is given to the detailed operation of these instruments and the interpretation of the signals generated, illustrated with reference to case studies of typical materials engineering investigations.
