Materials Chemistry Diagnostics
• You will not find any detail here but just useful guidelines as to where to look and what to look for if you need a certain kind of information about your material at different length scales.
• You can then look into each of those techniques, learn it and become an expert in it, or you can even develop your own technique. Many people did the latter in order to measure something that was not measurable at their time and many of those got Nobel Prizes for their work.
• Discovering techniques and how they work and what information they can yield is a beautiful way to see pure human ingenuity at work.

Electrical Techniques
• What information can I get from them?
• Electrical conductivity of molecules and materials
• Defines electronic properties: insulator, semiconductor, metal, semimetal, and superconductor
• Temperature dependence of conductivity establishes mechanism of charge transport
• Probes nature, population and effects of dopants, defects, and impurities
• Seebeck and Hall measurements define whether transport is by electron or hole carriers
