Abstract	The introductory course on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) emphasizes hands-on learning. Using 2 SEM instruments, students have the opportunity to study their own samples, or standard test samples, as well as solving exercises provided by ScopeM scientists.
Learning objective	- Set-up, align and operate a SEM successfully and safely. - Accomplish imaging tasks successfully and optimize microscope performances. - Master the operation of a low-vacuum and field-emission SEM and EDX instrument. - Perform sample preparation with corresponding techniques and equipment for imaging and analysis - Acquire techniques in obtaining secondary electron and backscatter electron micrographs - Perform EDX qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis
Content	During the course, students learn through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on sessions how to setup and operate SEM instruments, including low-vacuum and low-voltage applications. This course gives basic skills for students new to SEM. At the end of the course, students with no prior experience are able to align a SEM, to obtain secondary electron (SE) and backscatter electron (BSE) micrographs and to perform energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis. The procedures to better utilize SEM to solve practical problems and to optimize SEM analysis for a wide range of materials will be emphasized. - Discussion of students' sample/interest - Introduction and discussion on Electron Microscopy and instrumentation - Lectures on electron sources, electron lenses and probe formation - Lectures on beam/specimen interaction, image formation, image contrast and imaging modes. - Lectures on sample preparation techniques for EM - Brief description and demonstration of the SEM microscope - Practice on beam/specimen interaction, image formation, image contrast (and image processing) - Student participation on sample preparation techniques - Scanning Electron Microscopy lab exercises: setup and operate the instrument under various imaging modalities - Lecture and demonstrations on X-ray micro-analysis (theory and detection), qualitative and semi-quantitative EDX and point analysis, linescans and spectral mapping - Practice on real-world samples and report results

651-4111-00L	Experimental Rock Physics and Deformation	3 credits	2G	A. S. Zappone, L. Grafulha Morales, C. Madonna
Abstract	We illustrate physical properties and deformation mechanisms of rocks, to determined flow laws from experiments and to compare the microstructures produced in lab with natural rocks. The fundamental techniques for the determination in laboratory of a few physical properties and of deformation will be tested on natural rock samples. The extrapolation to nature will be discussed.
Learning objective	The objective of this course is to introduce rock physics and rock deformation as a laboratory and interpretive tool. Rock Physics provides the understanding to connect geomechanical and geophysical data to the intrinsic properties of rocks, such as mineral composition and texture. Rock Physics is a key component in geo-resources exploration and exploitation, and in geo-hazard assessment. For rock deformation we will illustrate how to determined flow-laws of rocks from experiments and how to extrapolate to natural conditions. Since the time scale of laboratory experiments is several orders of magnitude faster than nature, we will compare the microstructure of natural rocks with that produced during the experiments to prove that the same mechanisms are operating. For this purpose, the fundamental techniques of experimental rock deformation will be both illustrated and tested on natural rock samples in the plastic deformation regime (high temperature) as well in the brittle regime ( room temerature). We will perform tests in the lab, to acquire the data, to correct for calibration and to process the data and finally to interpret the data. The course is at Master student level, but will be useful for PhDs students who want to begin to work in experimental deformation or who want to know the meaning and the limitation of laboratory flow-laws for geodynamic modelling
Content	The course will focus on research-based term project, lectures will alternate with laboratory demonstrations. We will illustrate how intrinsic properties of rocks (mineral composition, porosity, pore fluids, crystallographic orientation, microstructures) are connected to the following physical properties: - permeability; - thermal properties; - elastic properties for seismic interpretations; - anisotropy of the above physical properties. We will measure some of those parameters in laboratory and discuss real case studies and applications. Principles of deformation mechanisms, flow laws, and deformation mechanism maps will be presented in lectures. In laboratory we will show: - Experimental deformation rigs (gas, fluid and solid confining media); - Main part of the apparatus (mechanical, hydraulic, heating system, data logging); - Calibration of an apparatus (distortion of the rig; transducers calibration); - Various types of tests (axial deformation; diagonal cut and torsion; deformation; constant strain rate tests; creep tests; stepping tests); - Testing on natural rocks, such as marble( brittle failure at room temperature; plastic deformation and high temperature; data processing) We will then analyze experimental microstructure and compare with natural samples.
Prerequisites / Notice	The course of Structural Geology (651-3422-00L) is highly recommended before attending this course. Moreover the students should have basic knowledge in geophysics and mineralogy/crystallography. In doubt, please contact the course responsible beforehand.
