Language: English
Remark: Next time: November 12-15, 2024
Frequency
Every 2 years
Summary
The course focuses on mechanics of solid thin films and small scale structures and on state-of-the-art experimental techniques employed for evaluation and extraction of thin films and small scale structures mechanical properties. Lectures are example intensive, with in depth theoretical analysis.

Note
Textbook: L.B. Freund and S. Suresh, Thin Film Materials, Cambridge Univ. Press 2004 (textbook is not necessary for course participation, handouts and lecture notes will provide sufficient information but the textbook is a valuable reference for anyone working in the field). The course will be held throughout 22.11.22 through 25.11.22 at EMPA in Thun so that partic-ipants can witness and take part in actual experimental evaluations and testing of thin films.
