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.

The Student Research Sandpit Workshop offers doctoral students the chance to experience the “Research Sandpit” format often used by research councils and other funders to stimulate and support new lines of thinking for tackling complex research challenges. The event will run virtually, part-time over ten days, so it can be managed in parallel with a doctoral research workload.
Digital Twinning is a method of using real-world data to create a virtual representation to model a range of processes and systems and predict potential outcomes. The focus of this workshop will be around urban and environmental digital twins which are already transforming how cities are being planned, built, and managed, with examples appearing in cities across the world
The Hatfield Memorial Lecture is an annual event hosted by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Sheffield. This year's lecture is titled, Moving Phase Boundaries as a Means to Transport Solute Atoms in Steels, from Professor Sybrand van der Zwaag, Delft University of Technology.
