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.

The Corrosion Science Symposium is a forum for up-to-date research and practise in corrosion. It will incorporate the postponed “Advances in Corrosion Protection by Organic Coatings". The conference will be opened by ICorr President, Bill Hedges with the U.R. Evans’ Award, presented to Professor Mary Ryan of Imperial College.
This event is the 15th in a series of conferences organised by the British Society for Strain Measurement showcasing novel and innovative research in experimental mechanics and will be taking place as a virtual event. The conference will be chaired and organised by a team of academics from across the UK.
The day 1 Symposium will focus on “Advanced Microscopy in Materials Research” bringing together leading experts using and developing advanced microscopy techniques. The symposium will cover many aspects of microscopy-based material characterization, including advances in methods and instrumentation, data analysis, sample preparation and novel ways to apply microscopy in materials science. The keynote speaker will be Prof Sara Bals from EMAT, University of Antwerp.
The MACSMIN conference, taking place 15-17 September, includes invited talks from world leading researchers in Functional Materials, Mathematical Crystallography and Computational Geometry, also a 2.5-hour tutorial about the new area of Periodic Geometry and a brainstorming session on translating practical problems in crystallography and materials science to the language of mathematics and computer science
In this seminar Dr Katie Moore will show how her research group has been using the NanoSIMS to image localised deuterium in electrochemically charged steel and nickel alloys as well as in zirconium alloys oxidised in an autoclave to simulate nuclear reactor conditions. She will explain how isotopic tracers, such as 18O and deuterium, can be used to avoid imaging artefacts and provide temporal information.
