  Structural analysis of functional ceramics using advanced diffraction techniques (XRDPIEZO)

Lecturers
Dr. Neamul Hayet Khansur, Prof. Dr. Kyle G. Webber

Details
Vorlesung mit Übung
2 cred.h, ECTS studies, ECTS credits: 3
nur Fachstudium, Sprache Englisch, This course will cover basic crystallography, advanced diffraction techniques (e.g., x-ray, neutron and electron) including instrumentation, strategies to collect diffraction data (ex situ and in situ) and different data analysis methods. The course has been designed in such a way that, in addition to the development of theoretical background, students can have hands-on experience with different data analysis methods and software. At the initial stage we will cover basics of crystallography and principle of diffraction technique. An in-depth discussion on different (e.g., x-ray, 2D x-ray, neutron and electron) diffraction techniques and their use in the field of materials science and engineering will then be presented. In the next step we will discuss ferroelectric/ferroelastic materials and how diffraction technique can be used to investigate microscopic origin of macroscopic functional properties. In the last few weeks, students will learn how to extract various structural parameters using different data analysis (e.g. Selected peak-fitting, Le Bail fitting and Rietveld structural refinement) techniques and how these structural parameters can be correlated with different macroscopic properties. A brief overview of the recent developments and future scopes in the field of structural analysis (e.g., 3D- XRD, diffuse scattering) using diffraction technique will be highlighted to conclude the course.
