Covers techniques used to determine the composition and structure of materials, both synthetic and biological. The aim is a level of understanding that allows students to choose suitable methods, to appreciate the physical basis of techniques so as to recognize their limitations, and to be able to interpret literature in specialty journals of the field. Modern approaches to determine composition, chemical structure and microstructure will be emphasized. It is not the intent of this course to train students as hands on users of particular instruments.
