What are the Common NDT Methods Used in Nanotechnology?
Several NDT methods are specifically adapted for nanotechnology applications. Here are a few:
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): This technique is used to measure surface roughness and morphology at the nanometer scale. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): SEM provides high-resolution imaging to examine the surface structure and composition of nanomaterials. X-ray Diffraction (XRD): This method is used to determine the crystallographic structure of nanomaterials. Spectroscopy: Techniques like Raman and Infrared Spectroscopy are used to analyze the molecular composition and bonding. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): While traditionally used in medical fields, MRI can be adapted for studying magnetic nanoparticles.
