Events at the Henry Royce Institute
And from around the Materials Community
06 March 2024 - 08 March 2024
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.

Dr Chris Hamlett, National Outreach Officer for Discover Materials, will discuss his pathway through materials science and into outreach in the latest Stand Out Skills Webinar. He will expand on how his multidisciplinary research background in chemistry and physics helped on his path to making a career around inspiring the next generation of materials scientists.
The Royce Data Curation team will host a 3-day workshop aimed at materials science researchers new to these languages, and those looking for a refresher; designed to give you confidence in using shell, Git and GitHub, and Python. You might be a complete beginner, or might have engaged briefly in the past. In developing these skills you will be well-placed to begin your digital research journey and apply basic computational approaches to materials data. A basic understanding would be helpful but not necessary.
The conference is intended to be a forum for early career materials, minerals and mining scientists and engineers from across the UK to come together and present their research on the materials they are developing and working with, with the hope of improving presentation and poster skills, along with initiating collaboration between research groups, and between industry and academia.
