• Thermophysical properties

  Thermophysical properties are exhibited by a material when heated. These properties are important for how materials reacts when they are subjected to heat fluctuation.

• Hardness

  The measurement of hardness is a first step in understanding the mechanical properties for metals, ceramics and thin films.

• Microstructure

  The microstructure in materials affects a wide range of physical properties like hardness, toughness and wear resistance.

• Mechanical properties

  Mechanical properties show a materials ability to withstand an applied load. It is important to be able to characterize these properties in different temperatures.

• Morphology (2D, 3D)

  The morphology of microstructural features affects the properties of materials. To study shapes of objects in great detail is important for materials characterization.

• Magnetic properties

  Magnetic materials and their properties are of great importance in different industrial fields, as they are used in devices like motors, generators and transformers.

• Crystal structure

  Crystal structures are unique to phases and can indicate the properties connected to a given phase. Of equal importance are the imperfections in the crystals, effecting the properties in materials.

• Chemical composition

  The chemical composition of a material has wide-ranging effects on everything from formed phases to corrosion resistance.

• Surface studies (related to probe techniques)

  Surfaces studies are becoming increasingly important, putting topography, chemical composition and magnetism in focus.
