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.

The Henry Royce Institute at the University of Leeds, in collaboration with EPSRC are holding a one-day meeting on Thursday 4th May 2023 to bring together materials researchers who are working in, or passionate about, moving towards an environmentally sustainable digital future.
This meeting aims to engage researchers, RTOs, policy makers and those working in industry within the advanced materials community in an active discussion about a materials focus for a sustainable digital future.
Nothing is off limits at Cheltenham Science Festival. See the world’s greatest scientists, futurologists and thought-leaders to help make sense of the world around us. The annual Cheltenham Science Festival by Cheltenham Festivals will take place Tuesday 6 – Sunday 11 June 2023, in Imperial Gardens and various venues around Cheltenham.
The University of Liverpool and Imperial College London, in collaboration with the University of Southampton and University of Cambridge, are developing a bid for an EPSRC AI hub for Digital Chemistry. This online open meeting on the 23rd May at 11am will discuss the outline of the hub, how it might develop an inclusive AI-using community and to shape the hub’s aims.
Learn how to build your own academic website with Dr Lucy Whalley in the first episode of our new Stand Out Skills webinar series.
Stand Out Skills is a new 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 typically taught as a part of traditional education pathways for materials scientists.
Version control is an essential skill for a modern researcher. It allows you to work with others, develop code faster, and track changes to your own code and even writing. This course is aimed at those who have no or little experience of version control, providing a hands-on introduction to version control using Git.
