NT4211 Materials Structural Characterization Laboratory Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES

 To learn imaging techniques to study structural morphology of nanomaterials.
 To analysis the crystal structure and interpretation via XRD analysis

1. Determination of size and lateral dimensions of various samples (pollen grains, strands of hair) using a high magnification optical microscope.
2. SEM analysis of powder, thin films, porous materials
3. SEM interpretation of powder, thin films, porous materials
4. Surface topography analysis using AFM : powder, thin films, porous materials
5. Surface topography interpretation of powder, thin films
6. XRD analysis of powder sample.
7. XRD interpretation of powder samples: Determination of lattice parameters and crystallite size.

TOTAL: 60 PERIODS
