Characterization of Materials

Welcome to the home of Characterization of Materials online! This reference provides comprehensive coverage of materials characterization. It covers techniques including computational and theoretical methods, as well as crystallography, mechanical testing, thermal analysis, optical imaging and spectroscopy, and more.

This reference work is specifically designed to offer not only a fundamental understanding of each major technique, but to lead the reader to the most appropriate technique given the particular material and property that needs measuring.

Characterization of Materials is a collection of characterization methods that are widely applicable in the wide and diverse field of materials research and is useful for materials scientists, engineers, and educators.

Methods Covered Include:

• General Vacuum Techniques
• X-Ray Powder Diffraction
• High Strain Rate Testing
• Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy
• Cyclic Voltammetry
• Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure
• Low Energy Electron Diffraction
• Thermogravimetric Analysis
• Magnetometry
• Transmission Electron Microscopy
• Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy
