Advanced experimental methods in condensed matter and nanophysics
Frequency
Only this year
Summary
The objective of the course is to expose PhD students to experimental measurement techniques and principles applied in front end research of condensed matter and nanophysics. Besides providing a solid background, it will focus on the crucial details which will make cutting edge experiments work.
Content
- Introduction
- Solids at the nanoscale
- Nanostructure fabrication: physical and chemical methods
- Matter at low temperatures, ultrahigh vacuum, low signal amplification
- Actuators and transducers as experimental tools
- Electronic transport
- Microscopy with atomic resolution: from electron microscopy to scannig probes
- Optics at the nanoscale
- Excitation spectroscopy: from electron spectroscopy to synchrotron based approaches
Note
Dates: MON 20.10.25 to FRI 24.10.25
PhD students from EPFL will be accommodated in the guest house of the Max-Planck-Institute. The number of Lausanne participants is limited to ten per course.
