CHEM 622 - Quantitative Materials Characterization

Fall (4) Staff. Note: Not offered Fall 2022.

This course presents a wide variety of means by which the properties and characteristics of materials can be experimentally determined. These include electrical, optical, acoustic, thermal, spectroscopic, and resonance methods. The objective is to discuss these separate means under the umbrella of fundamentals of interactions of matter with particles and waves. The course will address issues of data acquisition, such as sampling, discretization, and signal processing. Applications of these techniques to research in materials development, synthesis, processing, and in situ manufacturing. Cross-listed with APSC 622
