Explores electron behavior in an electron gas and the periodic arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids, along with density of states in various dimensions and energy bands.
Covers crystallography concepts, including veganicide cells, reciprocal lattices, and Brillouin zones, essential for understanding electron behavior in crystal structures.
Covers the fundamentals of electron diffraction and its applications in understanding crystal structures and symmetry, including lattice vectors, lattice planes, and dark-field imaging techniques.
Explores chemical bonding in solids, band structure, and surface scattering techniques for lattice parameter measurements and crystal orientation analysis.
Explores Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) principles, contrast mechanisms, dislocation identification, and sample cleaning methods for accurate imaging.
