After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend the materials presented in the lecture and to draw conclusions from them, as well as to actively communicate the contents presented during the lecture.

With respect to the lecture notes (in German language) the structure of the lecture is as follows:

1. Introduction to the analytial methods
2. elastic electron scattering (Rutherford scattering, screened Potential, Bragg scattering, phonon scattering)
3. inelastic electron scattering (Bethe theory, dielectric formalism, plasmon excitations, differetial scattering crossection, KKA, multiple scattering, ionization, ELNES)
4. electron energy loss spectrometry (spectrometer, energy resolution, detection, detection limits, spatial resolution)
5. energy filtered TEM (ZLP filtering, plasmon filtering, elemental maps)
6. X-ray spectrometry (detector, excitation volums, nomenclature, artifacts)
7. cathodoluminescence (spectrometer, diffraction at a slit, diffration at a lattice, electron-hole-pair recombination, Cerenkov radiation, transition radiation)
8. chemical microanalysis (in EELS, in EDX)
9. actual research topics (plsamonics, phase manipulation, orbital mapping)

Frontal Lecture

Lecture notes for this course are available for 15 EUR. The lecture notes are further used for the LVA 133.293 Electron Microscopy: Principles & Fundamentals.

oral examination

Lecture notes (in German language) are available at the beginning of the lecture series.

Positive examination in "VO 133.293 - Fundamentals of Electron Microscopy" is advised.
