MODULE 3: Nano-characterization and Materials Synthesis (08/11/10 - 26/11/10)

3.1 Crystal Growth and Assessment (12 hours)
Here details of the most used epitaxial crystal growth techniques, e.g. Molecular Beam Epitaxy, are covered. The most relevant post growth analytical assessment techniques employed in industry and academia alike are then covered in depth.

3.2 Nano-probes (12 hours)
How to characterize nanoscale features is the subject of this subunit. Both electromagnetic (e.g. energy loss spectroscopy), electrical (e.g. fractional Hall effect,) optical (all types of spectroscopies) and microscopy techniques (electron microscopy) will be described here.
Lab III: Optical Spectroscopy of Semiconductors
