Advance Surface Analysis Techniques

Advance Surface Analysis Techniques (SA101) is an introduction to various surface analytical techniques such as AFM, FTIR, RAMAN, EDS, XRF, WDS, XPS, AES, TOF-SIMS, and Contact Angle. This will give participants the basic knowledge of the technique and let them know which technique is more appropriate for certain problems and sample situations. Teach them what outcome to expect from the technique, its applicability and usefulness, and the basic data interpretation.

Course Objectives

☑ Learn the basic principles behind key surface analysis techniques
☑ Identify the strengths and limitations of each method
☑ Match appropriate techniques to specific sample types and analytical needs
☑ Understand expected outputs and how to interpret basic surface data
