06 Feb '17

Importance: High WORK TO BE PERFORMED: From 10:00 PM on 2/15/17 to 1:00 AM on 2/16/17, the ITaP Data Networks Team will be performing work that will cause a disruption of data network services for some clients. AFFECTED CLIENTS: Some ITaP data network clients in the following buildings should plan to experience disruption of wired data network connectivity (via data PIC) and wireless data network services (via PAL3.0). 1. Birck Nanotechnology Building (BRK) 2. Knoy (Maurice G.) Hall of Technology (KNOY) 3. Krannert Building (KRAN) 4. Gerald D and Edna E Mann Hall (MANN) 5. Grant Street Parking Garage (PGG) 6. Potter (A.A.) Engineering Center (POTR) 7. Smith Hall (SMTH) 8. Stewart Center (STEW) Attached is a list of the affected data PICs for these buildings. SCOPE OF WORK: During the scheduled outage window, affected client(s) should plan to experience 1 service disruption lasting up to 30 minutes in duration. If you have any questions or concerns about this work please don't hesitate to let us know. Thanks much.

************** Development of Iontronics Dr. Shimpei ONO Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, Japan Institute Neel, University of Grenoble Alps and CNRS, France Friday, February 3rd at 11:00 am; Birck 1001 Abstract: Electric field control of charge carrier density has long been a key technology to tune the physical properties of condensed matter, exploring the modern semiconductor industry. One of the big challenges is to increase the maximum attainable carrier density, however it is limited by the quality of gate dielectrics. In this talk, I’m going to show the new technique to modulate carrier density making use of ionic liquid electrolytes. With electrolyte gating, we can modulate up to 10^15/cm2 of carrier density at the interface which is 2 orders of magnitude larger than conventional gate dielectrics and demonstrate that we can indeed control metal-to-insulator and ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition by electric-field effect doping. I also will show our recent progress using ionic liquid electrolytes. *************** Recent Advances in 4H-SiC Crystal Growth and Defect Control for High-Performance Power Devices Dr. Hidekazu Tsuchida Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, Japan Friday, February 3rd at 2:00 pm Birck 1001 Abstract: After brief introduction of CRIEPI and the research topics in Electronic Materials Sector of Materials Science Research Laboratory, our recent achievements in 4H-SiC crystal growth and defect imaging and control techniques will be shown. The topics will include fast CVD bulk growth, large-diameter epitaxial growth, high-resolution or 3D imaging of extended defects and control of point and extended defects, toward high-throughput production of high-quality 4H-SiC wafers and realizing high-voltage and low-loss power devices. Bio: Hidekazu Tsuchida, Dr., Deputy Associate Vice President, Sector Leader, Electronic Materials, Materials Science Research Laboratory, CRIEPI. Entered CRIEPI in 1992 and started SiC crystal growth and characterization in 1994 toward realizing next generation power devices for high-voltage power transmission and distribution. Recent research interests include fast 4H-SiC bulk growth by high-temperature CVD, large-diameter thick epitaxial growth and defect control for high-quality crystals and high-performance devices. Since 2016, chief secretary of Advanced Power Semiconductor Division of Japanese Applied Physics Society. ************************************

NANODAYS SEMINAR TRAVEL NANODAYS Dear Birck faculty and students, We are planning our yearly NanoDays outreach event, for April 6th and 7th from 9am - 2pm and Girl Scout/Birck Family Evening for April 5th 6-8pm. As in years past, we would really appreciate having some research groups provide demonstration/activity tables alongside our standing lineup of activities. They are generally aimed at kids in elementary school up to high school. Please contact me ndilley(a)purdue.edu<mailto:ndilley@purdue.edu> by February 24th, 2017 if you would like your group to have an activity table at this year's Nanodays. Thank you very much for your interest in engaging kids in science! Best regards, Neil -- Neil R. Dilley Research Scientist Birck Nanotechnology Center , Rm 1010 1205 West State St. West Lafayette, IN 47907-2057 765-496-6080 Purdue's Birck Nanotechnology Center has an exciting volunteer opportunity for students in the technical, education, and management fields. Participants will have the opportunity to: * Gain professional experience explaining scientific concepts to people from non-technical backgrounds. * Support the future of STEM programs by introducing grade schoolers and high school students to the miniscule world of atoms, molecules, and nanoscale forces. * Participate with other students/researchers in a nationwide festival celebrating nanotechnology science and education. Since 2010, the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Discovery Park has participated in NISE NanoDays, a program that promotes science and technology education nationwide. Volunteers will staff activity stations and assist visitors as they investigate different scientific concepts. Some example activities for 2017 include static electricity, DNA, and ultraviolet light. No prior knowledge is required to volunteer, just an enthusiasm for science and science education. Local vendors will be providing food for volunteer training and all three days of the event. Volunteers can attend any or all of the following shifts: Wednesday: 4/5/17, 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM Thursday: 4/6/17, 8:45 AM - 11:30 AM 4/6/17, 11:15 AM - 2:00 PM Friday: 4/7/17, 8:45 AM - 11:30 AM 4/7/17, 11:15 AM - 2:00 PM Training is mandatory and will be provided in the Birck atrium. The schedule is: Tuesday: 3/28/17, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (Pizza Party) 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (Training Sessions) Interested volunteers can sign up here. (http://tinyurl.com/ztb83wz) A full list of activities can be found here.
