Abstract

Please join us for a more in-depth dive of select nanotechnology topics, including resources and tips on how to share these ideas with your students. This series consists of 16 self-contained topics split between March-April and September-October. Though targeted for undergraduate studies, off-line discussions may include ways to adapt to a variety of academic levels. The planned schedule is listed below. Each seminar includes a two-hour discussion on Fridays beginning at noon EST, and additional materials provided through a course management system. The topics:
 

  • Optical Lithography
  • Wave-Based Characterization
  • Plasma Technology
  • Microelectromechanical Systems
  • Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy and Ebeam Lithography
  • Transmission Electron Microscopy
  • Microfluidics
  • Nano-medicine

  1. Charged-Particle Interaction Analysis

    Online Presentations | 07 Jan 2022 | Contributor(s): Atilla Ozgur Cakmak, NACK Network | 63 users

    Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has traditionally been the most frequently used micro-/nano- characterization technique to overcome the optical losses coming from lenses. In this talk we are going to begin by discussing the fundamental blocks of an SEM starting from the electron beam emission....

  2. Vacuum Function, Operation and Systems
