MASTER 2

SEMESTER 3

1. 
   B201: Mesoscopic materials and Interfaces
   

Main professor: Dr. Alain Gibaud (Department of Physics, University of Maine, LeMans)

Objectives:

The objective of this course is to present the X-ray scattering techniques used to study nanomaterials with different morphologies going from thin films, to powder materials or colloidal solutions. The course will provide students with a full understanding of the X-ray scattering techniques capabilities to analyze such materials. In particular, the sources of X-ray scattering and the types of interaction of X-ray with matter (4h), the principles of X-ray reflectivity (6h), powder diffraction (2h), crystalline thin film diffraction (4h) and Small angle X-ray diffraction (4h) will be presented. PSS will be given for each technique (2.5h). The lectures will be complemented by a series of tutorials (LW) on computers in order to apply the theoretical concepts to practical examples.

Outline:

• 
  Lecture: 20 hours
  
• 
  PSS: 2.5 hours
  

Total number of hours: 22.5h (3 ECTS)

2.
