Main themes
Study of the methods of characterisation of the microstructure of crystalline materials (metals and ceramics) and, in particular, of the methods based on (scanning and transmission) electron microscopy and diffraction of x rays and electrons. The objective is to show the specificity and complementarity of these methods for the description and quantification of the microstructure of crystalline materials. Overview of electro-analytical techniques, applied to the study of the chemical nature and electrochemical mechanisms of some technologically relevant electrochemical reactions.

Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The course is organised around 12/13 lectures and practicals / projects / laboratories. The scope will be put on the practical use of different characterisation equipments.
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The students are evaluated individually with a written and oral exam based on the objectives described above.The written exam will concern the scientific and technical knowledge seen during the lectures as well as the projects carried out during the laboratories.
Depending on the sanitary situation, the organisation of the exam could be adapted (online, ...).
Other information
It is supposed that the concepts of the FYKI orientation at the bachelor level are known.
