| 327-0301-00L | Materials Science I | 3 credits | 3G | J. F. Löffler, R. Schäublin, A. R. Studart, P. Uggowitzer | |
| Abstract | Basic concepts of metal physics, ceramics, polymers and their technology. | ||||
| Learning objective | Based on the lecture 'Introduction to Materials Science' this lecture aims to give a detailed understanding of important aspects of materials science, with special emphasis on metallic and ceramic materials. | ||||
| Content | Thermodynamics and phase diagrams, crystal interfaces and microstructure, diffusional transformations in solids, and diffusionless transformations will be presented for metallic alloys. The basics of the ionic and covalent chemical bonds, the bond energy, the crystalline structure, four important structural ceramics, and the properties of glasses and glass ceramics will be presented for ceramic materials. | ||||

| 327-2128-00L | High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy  Number of participants limited. Students who wish to obtain ECTS points need to participate at additional hands-on sessions at ScopeM and EMPA. A separate registration is necessary: HRTEM registration form (Link) and PhD-Students will be asked for a fee ( ScopeM MTP - http://www.scopem.ethz.ch/education/MTP.html ). | 2 credits | 3G | A.

| Abstract | This advanced course on High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) provides lectures focused on HRTEM and HRSTEM imaging principles, related data analysis and simulation and phase restoration methods. | ||||
| Learning objective | - Learning how HRTEM and HRSTEM images are obtained. - Learning about the aberrations affecting the resolution in TEM and STEM and the different methods to correct them. - Learning about TEM and STEM images simulation software. - Performing TEM and STEM image analysis (processing of TEM images and phase restoration after focal series acquisitions). | ||||
| Content | This course provides new skills to students with previous TEM experience. At the end of the course, students will know how to obtain HR(S)TEM images, how to analyse, process and simulate them. Topics: 1. Introduction to HRTEM and HRSTEM 2. Considerations on (S)TEM instrumentation for high resolution imaging 3. Lectures on aberrations, aberration correction and aberration corrected images 4. HRTEM and HRSTEM simulation 5. Data analysis, phase restoration and lattice-strain analysis | ||||
