Synthesis and Characterization Techniques

Characterization when used in materials science refers to the use of external techniques to probe into the internal structure and properties of a material. Characterization can take the form of actual materials testing or analysis. Characterization techniques are used simply to magnify the specimen to visualize its internal structure and to gain knowledge as to the distribution of elements within the specimen and their interactions. This book is useful for researchers who are working in the field of materials science.
