Overview of Physical Methods of Analysis

The modern industry requires materials more efficient less expensive and with well-defined characteristics is in this context It is essential to understand a material to characterize it that is to say to analyze its properties. There are many techniques to characterize materials based on different basic physical principles: radiation-matter interactions and thermodynamics. The content of this handout allows the students of the Inorganic Chemistry Specialization to know the different techniques and means of characterization of materials most used by chemists.
