TeachingDr. Zhao teaches the Electron Microbeam Techniques course (GEO 390R). This course covers scanning electron microscopy (SEM), environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM/STEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), methods of sample preparation, and hands-on-practices with both hardware and software. Also included are energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) of characteristic X-ray, electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), and electron energy loss spectrometry (EELS). Laboratory work will be assigned each week and operational instructions for each instrument will be available to students. |
