Course description of CHIM-F-421 [version française]

Title

Microscopy and microanalysis at high resolution



Lecturer

M. Norbert KRUSE



Prerequisites

MA1 CHIM-F-437 (Structure and Reactivity of Surfaces)



Objective

Presentation of modern methods of microscopy and spectroscopy with applications in surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, polymer sciences and biochemistry



Contents

Historical developments in microscopy. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy, diffraction, microanalysis by X-rays, electron loss spectroscopy: applications in heterogeneous catalysis, solid state chemistry, polymer chemistry and biochemistry. Diffraction of low energy electrons at surfaces with applications in surface chemistry. Microscopy with atomic resolution: from field ion microscopy (FIM) to near-field microscopy (STM, AFM). The "atom-probe": determination of chemical composition at nano-sized surfaces while imaging chemical reactions by FIM
