PHY393   Microscopy and Spectroscopy Laboratory   (20 credits)

Description

This module will develop transferrable skills that will be useful in further experimental project work and industrial science and technology roles. Students will gain hands-on experience using a range of sophisticated experimental techniques to explore physics research and real world context-based questions. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical and gamma-ray spectroscopies, as well as associated techniques such as ellipsometry will be used. Students will undertake a series of experiments, supported by lectures, in semester one and conduct an open-ended project utilising the techniques in semester two.
