Principles of Materials Characterization and Metrology
«An excellent book for graduate students and early career researchers ..., one of the best to review the present status of Materials Science. Strongly recommended.»
Nobuo Tanaka, Nagoya University, Japan
Characterization enables a microscopic understanding of the fundamental properties of materials (Science) to predict their macroscopic behaviour (Engineering). With this focus, Principles of Materials Characterization and Metrology presents a comprehensive discussion of the principles of materials characterization and metrology. Les mer
and the arrangement of atoms in crystals. Then, the range of electrons, photons, ions, neutrons and scanning probes, used in characterization, including their generation and related beam-solid interactions that determine or limit their use, is presented. This is followed by ion-scattering methods, optics,
optical diffraction, microscopy, and ellipsometry. Generalization of Fraunhofer diffraction to scattering by a three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in crystals leads to X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction methods, both from surfaces and the bulk. Discussion of transmission and analytical electron microscopy, including recent developments, is followed by chapters on scanning electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopies. The book concludes with elaborate tables to provide a
convenient and easily accessible way of summarizing the key points, features, and inter-relatedness of the different spectroscopy, diffraction, and imaging techniques presented throughout.
Principles of Materials Characterization and Metrology uniquely combines a discussion of the physical principles and practical application of these characterization techniques to explain and illustrate the fundamental properties of a wide range of materials in a tool-based approach. Based on forty years of teaching and research, this book incorporates worked examples, to test the reader's knowledge with extensive questions and exercises.

«An excellent book for graduate students and early career researchers ..., one of the best to review the present status of Materials Science. Strongly recommended.»
Nobuo Tanaka, Nagoya University, Japan
«Very timely and of paramount importance to both students and senior researchers.»
Peter Fischer, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab
«This is an excellent textbook for a course on the structural characterisation of materials. It could also find a place on the bookshelf of an experienced materials scientist wanting to be brought up to date on new techniques and their applications.»
A.H. Harker, Contemporary Physics
«Comprehensive, well organized, and should appeal as a fundamental text to a wide range of first and second year undergraduates studying Materials Science, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry or Geology.»
David Cardwell, University of Cambridge
«Materials characterization is at the core of what Materials Scientists and Engineers do, and this book strikes a fine balance between fundamentals and applications for the different techniques.»
Juan Claudio Nino, University of Florida
