Integrating Material Science And Processing Into The Undergraduate Engineering And Science Curriculum Using The Web

Modeling of crystal structure in material science curriculum was practiced and applied to keep it simple and understandable by using MS. The unit cells and atomic configurations are produced to show the theory system of geometry description of crystal structure. Many examples, as diamond, graphite, nanomaterial and advanced carbon materials, are employed to describe the main application of MS in material science teaching. According to these atomic modeling configurations, crystal structures exhibit a clearly and understandable appearance for us. So, the meaning of learning and understanding the related parameters of geometry description of crystal structure was explored with the point which helped students to realize and master the abstract concepts of crystal structure.

The observation of small magnetic materials is one of the most important applications of electron holography to material science, because interferometry by means of electron holography can directly visualize magnetic flux lines in a very small area. To observe magnetic structures by transmission electron microscopy it is important to control the magnetic field applied to the specimen in order to prevent it from changing its magnetic state. The easiest method is tuming off the objective lens current and focusing with the first intermediate lens. The other method is using a low magnetic-field lens, where the specimen is set above the lens gap.Figure 1 shows an interference micrograph of an isolated particle of barium ferrite on a thin carbon film observed from approximately [111]. A hologram of this particle was recorded by the transmission electron microscope, Hitachi HF-2000, equipped with an electron biprism. The phase distribution of the object electron wave was reconstructed digitally by the Fourier transform method and converted to the interference micrograph Fig 1.
