All Day
This course will introduce thin-film deposition and analytical techniques for characterising thin films. The content explores physical vapour deposition techniques, and will cover deposition parameters, structural characterisation and the electrical behaviour of a simple device. Practical training will cover basic lab skills for working with the ultra-high-vacuum environments needed for high quality thin film growth. Through use of the Royce Deposition System participants will gain hands-on experience of, sputtering, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Each participant will grow and characterise their own samples, including taking measurements of film thickness and surface morphology. The course will also include a short session on cleanroom fabrication to make a microscale wire from a thin film.

In this webinar, Henry Shine and Neal Pollock, patent attorneys at Wilson Gunn, will provide a beginner-friendly overview of the main intellectual property rights and concepts applicable to the field of materials science. The aim is to help viewers better understand and navigate the path to research commercialisation, through a description of real-world case studies to show how the theory was put into practice for previous materials science innovations.
Stand Out Skills is a webinar series for early career researchers working in materials science disciplines. Hosted by experts, each episode will explore useful presentation, communication, or career skills for researchers which aren’t normally taught as a part of traditional education pathways for materials scientists.
This symposium marks the opening of the Royce Battery Suite. This suite of equipment is available on open access for the manufacturing and processing of battery materials. It includes a glove box, planetary mixer, centrifuge, freeze dryer, shear mixer, reactor synthesis, digestion reactor and rotary evaporator.
