Please keep in mind that safety showers and eye wash stations are critical for treating emergency chemical exposures, and sometimes the victim can't see well or is in a panic to find the nearest shower. Please don't store or locate any object in front of eye wash stations or safety showers..... the path to them needs to remain clear and unobstructed. Thanks for your cooperation.

Mark Voorhis Building Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Birck Safety Protocols It is very gratifying to see our research community back 'in business' doing leading-edge research in our center after the long pause we all experienced this Spring. But at the same time we want to remind our entire user group of the critical importance of following the COVID safety protocols while using our facilities. If an outbreak of COVID exposures should happen at Birck there is a real possibility that we may need to close the facility again. So please read and support the following..... .....Some of our approved users are holding the doors open for others to enter the building. This may very well be a gesture of politeness to assist another, but it also can be perceived that non-approved people are entering our building with the assistance of one of our approved users. Additionally it does not allow us to have an accurate accounting of who is entering our building by evaluating card-swipe data. So everyone should swipe into Birck and not be let in by someone holding the door open. .....Face masks are required while in Birck. Approved users have been, and continue to be, strongly encouraged to bring their own face mask for their personal use while in the facility. At the entrances we have supplied quantities of disposable face masks for emergency use, but our supplies of these disposable masks are being depleted at the high rate of 300 - 400 masks per week. This rate of use seems exceptionally high when personal masks are strongly recommended. Please only take one mask from the supply, and only when you've forgotten your personal mask. ....Social distancing continues to be a challenge. This is a difficult habit to develop and groups of people have been seen clustered around a tool, or having a hallway conversation, and not adhering to the 6' spacing rule. Please continue to maintain at least 6' spacing between yourself and the nearest other person. Please stay vigilant in promoting and supporting these safety protocols. If we each do our part we will continue to stay open and conduct state-of-the-art research in our great facility. REMINDER: Influenza Vaccination Required for Faculty, Staff and Students Faculty, staff and students are required to obtain their influenza vaccine by Oct. 31. Purdue is holding flu shot events, and several on-campus locations also are offering flu shots. Seasonal flu shots are provided at no charge to all benefits-eligible Purdue faculty and staff as well as spouses and dependents covered on a Purdue medical plan.

With this broad range of applications comes a diverse set of materials and processes, and occasionally certain materials used within our process tools can cause harmful levels of contamination due to particulates, outgassing, re-deposition, and chemical incompatibility. To that end we have developed a "Material and Process Compatibility" matrix showing 3 to 4 levels of allowed materials in our major systems in Lithography, Etch, Physical Vapor Deposition, and Growth/Deposition systems. These levels of allowed materials and/or substrate cleaning requirements are categorized under the areas of "Metallic Contamination," "Outgassing Contamination," "Elevated Temperature," "Backside Cleanliness," and "Special." We have carefully considered this matrix over the last several weeks, and we're now publishing it as an overlay of requirements to keep our systems clean and pristine for all users. Here is a link to the matrix: https://wiki.itap.purdue.edu/display/BNCWiki/Material+and+Process+Compatibi… In the Birck Wiki there is also a link to this matrix on each equipment page. As with any new procedure and process item we solicit your suggestions for improvements and modifications to this matrix. There is a lot of information contained in the document and we need input from the user community to ensure we have the best and most accurate information. Additionally, if you wish to use something that is outside this matrix you must contact a staff member to discuss your process requirements before running your process.

REMINDER: BNC Virtual Faculty Seminar Series: Speaker - Hadiseh Alaeian - TODAY, Oct. 1st @ 12noon via Zoom

Reminder: BNC Virtual Faculty Seminar Series TODAY @ 12:00noon. [cid:image001.jpg@01D697CE.783A4470] The BNC Virtual Faculty Seminar Series is designed to provide faculty a platform to present an overview of their research and the opportunity for collaborative discussion with other BNC faculty and researchers across six colleges and 15 academic units. Hadiseh Alaeian Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering October 1st, 2020 | 12:00pm Join Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/93857631004 Title: Atom-Nanophotonics at Low Dimensions Abstract: Combining photonic structures with thermal atomic vapors on a chip provides an efficient atom-light coupling well beyond the diffraction limit on a scalable and miniaturized platform. In this seminar, I talk about some of our results on an integrated silicon photonic chip immersed in a micro-cell with rubidium vapor and discuss the effect of transient atom-light coupling on modifying the scattering properties of the photonic devices. Moreover, I present some of our recent spectroscopy measurements of a dense atomic media coupled to the tightly confined and deep sub-wavelength mode of a photonic waveguide. Our results indicate the appearance of some collective behaviors at this pseudo-1D geometry, mediated via the single waveguide mode strongly coupled to all atoms. The talk will be concluded with some of our ideas and perspectives for using this platform for cavity QED studies and devising new schemes for investigating atom-atom interactions in more sophisticated light fields. Bio: Hadiseh Alaeian got her PhD from Stanford in 2015, studying active and non-Hermitian photonic systems, under the supervision of Jennifer Dionne and Jelena Vuckovic. After her graduation, she moved to Germany first, as a Humboldt postdoc fellow and later as a junior group leader in the group of Tilman Pfau. During that time, her research has been focused on quantum dynamics of photonic systems including their Bose-Einstein condensation, and their interaction with atoms in sub-wavelength structures. In August 2020, Hadiseh joined Purdue as an assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Physics and Astronomy where she will be extending her studies to the strongly interacting photon fluids using Rydberg excitons.
