Content: - interactions between electrons and matter
- components of an electron microscope
- scanning electron microscopy
- transmission electron microscopy
- inelastic scattering and electron energy loss spectroscopy
- elastic scattering and electron diffraction
- kinematical and dynamical theory of diffraction
- electron crystallography, 3D electron diffraction and structure determination
Competences: Students will be prepared to use electron microscopes and understand the interaction between electrons and matter. The foundations are laid to get structural information from electron diffraction experiments.
