Intended for graduate students who are using transmission electron microscopy in their research.  Covers imaging theory, lens aberrations, contrast transfer functions, dynamical diffraction theories, and diffraction contrast from a wide range of crystal defects (planar defects, dislocations, etc.). Also discusses the basics of scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques. Meant to complement the more practical training in 209C, but 209C is not a pre-requisite.

MATRL100B . Stemmer S 3 Years Ago

Worst Professor I have ever had in my life. Zero passion in teaching. Grading can be super unfair based on the TA. Exams include a lot of outside the book knowledge

MATERIAL10 . Stemmer S 9 Years Ago

Easiest class I've taken. She is kind and teaches decently. The only hard part was understanding her thick accent. She teachers with PowerPoints, and the textbook was really easy to understand. Had no problem passing the course with an A. 1 research paper, involved interviewing a grad student and writing about it. Straightforward and enjoyable.

She does not motivate her topics at all, and her train of thought is impossible to follow. Her derivations are sloppy and she makes frequent (and substantial) errors.

She sucks. Her class is horrible. The best days of class were when we had subs. It's easy to get a 'C' but hard to get an 'A'. She isn't very nice either.
