Structural Properties
• Crystallite size, strain inside crystallite, lattice parameters and crystallographic orientation can be deducted from XRD (Non Destructive Testing)
• Oxydation at high desoriented grain boundaries, grain size, phase contrast can be observed with SEM
• Micro-cracks in bulk materials can be seen with 3D micro-tomography (Non Destructive Testing)
Physical Properties
• Oxydation detected in superconducting layers is linked to superconductivity decrease
• Thermal effect on device performance can be analysed
• Resistance of metallic composite can be followed as a function of composition
Link between structural & physical properties
• Crystallization state can be managed, between fully polycrystalline and quasi-monocrystalline alloys, by exploring different growth methods
• A relation between crystallographic state and performance is evidenced
