Structural Characterization

Structural characterization is one of our urgent tasks (High-resolution transmission electron microscope JEM-3010)

Performance of structural characterization of multicomponent thin films is one of our urgent tasks because many factors affect coating characteristics. In order to understand trends in the physical and mechanical behaviors, a detailed characterization of atomic structure, chemical and phase compositions, grain size and morphology is needed. For the characterization of nanostructured multicomponent thin films, a wide variety of techniques are needed. Therefore we have much experience in the thorough characterization of the nanocrystalline multiphase thin films using X-ray diffraction, conventional TEM using DF and SAED techniques, high-resolution TEM, SEM, EELS, AES, and XPS methods
