Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims:
Students have become acquainted with the special instrumental features of field emission scanning electron microscopy in theory and in practice, and are familiar with focused ion beam (FIB) applications. The students collect electron optical images at high spatial resolution using various detectors (SED, BSED, FSD, STEM) and learn to generate cross-sections using FIB. Furthermore, the students have received insight into the practical application of the EBSD method. They are able to use the different methods of microstructure and texture analysis at high spatial resolution for working at individual questions in geomaterials research.

Content:
theoretical introduction: Special features of the Quanta 3D FEG instrument (E-gun and E-column, FIB, detectors)
practicals at the Quanta 3D FEG instrument: Hardware; Software; sample exchange; Secondary Electron and Back Scattered Electron imaging; STEM imaging; EDX; FIB; Gas injection systems; usage of the micromanipulator; EBSD; FSD

Assessment and permitted materials

Permanent attendance during the practicals is required for a positive certificate.
During the practicals every student independently collects SE- and BSE-images after setting the required electron beam parameters (UE SEM) and generates a cross-section using the focused ion beam (UE FIB).
Assessment criteria: active participation during the practicals; originally composed workflow protocol of all parts of the practicals.
Submission of the workflow protocol until 11. April 2023

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Permanent attendance during the practicals is required for a positive certificate.
Assessment criteria: Originally composed workflow protocol of the practicals (max 60 scores); UE SEM (max 20 scores); UE FIB (max 20 scores); Total scores for positive degree: maximum 100 scores, minimum 50 scores
Submission of the workflow protocol until 11. April 2023

Examination topics

practicals: individual work under supervision at the Quanta 3D FEG instrument;
Original composition of a workflow-protocol covering the practical parts.
