Special Points Of Interest

  To reap the benefits of nanotechnology, improvements in characterization are needed to increase throughput
     as creativity outpaces our ability to confirm results. The considerations of research, commerce, and regulation are
     part of a larger feedback loop that illustrates a mutual need for rapid, easy, and standardized characterization
     of a large property matrix. Now, we have an opportunity and a need to strike a new balance that drives higher
     quality research, simplifies commercial exploitation, and allows reasoned regulatory approaches

Forthcoming Events

 

3rd NanoCharM (Winter) School on Ellipsometry
27th February - 5th March 2010 - Bad Hofgastein, Salzburg, Austria

 

Bad Hofgastein, Salzburg

The winter school is the 3rd school in the frame of the EU Project NanoCharM. The lectures are separated into basic and advanced levels. A special focus will be set on plasmons and negative refraction structures.

Who may benefit? - The school is aimed at students, researchers and SMEs interested of any level and knowledge of ellipsometry. It helps in understanding the properties of nanomaterials, nanodevices and related processes through the use of polarimetry and ellipsometry techniques.
