There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
A detailed introduction to the principles and practice of two techniques for analyzing the first few monolayers of a surface: XPS -the most common surface analytical method and ToF-SIMS a mass-spectroscopy-based method complementary in many ways to XPS. Taken together they allow:
Target Audience:
Attendance is open to the general technical community and is not limited to current Georgia Tech students or IEN users. The course will be of value to anyone needing to analyze the physical-chemical properties of surfaces including catalysts; thin-film metals and semiconductors; low-dimensional materials such as graphene, CNT's, and MoS2; polymers for food packaging or medical implants; corrosion studies in metals; among other materials. The course should prove useful to everyone from the interested novice, unfamiliar with these techniques - but with a practical need for information about the surface composition/chemistry of a sample - up to those with even a moderately advanced practical XPS or SIMS background looking to develop a deeper understanding.
Rates: *Rates include lunches on all days*
Registration: Due to the nature of the lab portion of the course, registration has a maximum of 40 participants. Your registration is not guaranteed until full payment is received. If you wish to charge the course to an IEN Cleanroom account, please contact us immediately so that we can provide the proper forms, and so that we may notify the PI or accounts representative. Credit cards are the only payment option for people outside Georgia Tech. Once you submit your registration, follow the appropriate links in your confirmation email. A waiting list of overflow registrants will be maintained in case of cancellations.
