Experts must be able to analyze and distinguish all materials,
or combinations of materials, in use today whether they be metals,
ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, or composites. To understand a
material 's structure, how that structure determines its
properties, and how that material will subsequently work in
technological applications, researchers apply basic principles of
chemistry, physics, and biology to address its scientific
fundamentals, as well as how it is processed and engineered for
use. Emphasizing practical applications and real-world case
studies, Materials Characterization Techniques presents the
principles of widely used, advanced surface and structural
characterization techniques for quality assurance, contamination
control, and process improvement.
This useful volume:
- Explores scientific processes to characterize materials using
modern technologies
- Provides analysis of materials performance under specific use
conditions
- Focuses on the interrelationships and interdependence between
processing, structure, properties, and performance
- Details the sophisticated instruments involved in an
interdisciplinary approach to understanding the wide range of
mutually interacting processes, mechanisms, and materials
- Covers electron, X-ray-photoelectron, and UV spectroscopy;
scanning-electron, atomic-force, transmission-electron, and
laser-confocal-scanning-florescent microscopy, and gel
electrophoresis chromatography
- Presents the fundamentals of vacuum, as well as X-ray
diffraction principles
Explaining appropriate uses and related technical requirements
for characterization techniques, the authors omit lengthy and often
intimidating derivations and formulations. Instead, they emphasize
useful basic principles and applications of modern technologies
used to characterize engineering materials, helping readers grasp
micro- and nanoscale properties. This text will serve as a valuable
guide for scientists and engineers involved in characterization and
also as a powerful introduction to the field for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students.
