ECE 557 EQUIPMENT & ACCESSORIES FLEX LAB CONSTRUCTION ITaP DATA OUTAGE SEMINAR STARTING AS A NEW USER IN BIRCK ECE 557 EQUIPMENT & ACCESSORIES A few critical items from the ECE 557 process bay have gone missing. Included in these was an aligner chuck and a wafer carrier. Please note that any and all items in the 557 bay are for the lab portion of that class and should be left in that bay. If items are missing then the students can't do their processing during assigned lab hours. Thanks for your cooperation. FLEX LAB CONSTRUCTION Flex Lab Construction will begin Monday April 4th in back of Birck for the new Flex lab. The parking in the back of Birck (gravel and paved) will be closed. The west and north lots will still be available for parking. There may be some vibration concerns, but construction will be in contact with management to let us know if there will be any issues. New Bicycle Paths and Parking: An upcoming project in Discovery Park to install a bicycle lane between BIND and Mann and on the northwest corner of BRK. This project was scheduled for installation in the Fall of 2015, but was rescheduled to the Spring of 2016. Purdue Grounds will be performing the excavation and Purdue Masons will install the lanes. PUPF construction team will co-ordinate the scheduling of the excavation activities and will provide routine updates on the plans for excavation with BNC building manager. Light construction work will start the week of March 21. Excavation and concrete work will begin as soon as weather permits. We plan on having this work complete by the end of July 2016. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Mark Voorhis and Mary Jo Totten ITaP DATA OUTAGE WORK TO BE PERFORMED: From 11:00 PM to 11:59 PM on Thursday, 3/31/16, the ITaP Data Networks Team will be performing scheduled work that may cause a disruption of data network services for some clients. AFFECTED CLIENTS: It is possible that no noticeable disruption of services will occur during this scheduled work however if a service disruption does occur, all clients and services that utilize an ITaP Data Center firewall context will experience that disruption. SCOPE OF WORK: It is possible that no clients will experience a noticeable service disruption but if such does occur, affected client(s) should plan to experience a couple of service disruptions during the scheduled outage window, each disruption lasting up to 5 minutes in duration. If you have any questions or concerns about this work please don't hesitate to let us know. Thanks much.

NT-TEC seminar, Prof. Zubin Jacob, High temperature plasma frequency engineering for thermal energy conversion
by Amirkoushyar Ziabari 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Dear all, This is just a reminder for the NT-TEC seminar tomorrow Thursday March 10th. Professor Jacob will present his research on "High temperature plasma frequency engineering for thermal energy conversion". Here is an abstract for the talk: "We will discuss our work on control of thermal radiation using nanomaterials. We will consider the interesting regime which occurs when the peak of blackbody emission coincides with the plasma frequency of metals. The resulting unique thermal emission lineshape is useful for thermophotovoltaic emitters and for enhancing near-field radiative heat transfer.: Nanoscale Thermal/Thermoelectric Energy Conversion (NT-TEC) Seminar ? Speaker: Prof. Zubin Jacob Topic: High temperature plasma frequency engineering for thermal energy conversion Date: Thursday, March 10 2016 Time: 12-1pm Location: Birck 1001 Here is the calendar for talk schedules. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16zKlzNRD2cpLdR1obus9uoxLQj9YEMAC5lC… Sincerely, Amir Koushyar Ziabari Graduate Research Assistant Electrical Engineering Department Birck Nano-Technology Center Purdue University Mail Stop: Birck Nano-Technology Center 1205 W.

Dr. Yongtao Cui Seminar, Thursday, March 24th at 10:40 am WANG 1004
by Anthrop, Heather L 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

[BRK/ECE/PHYS Seminar,March 24, 2016 @ 10:40am WANG 1004 ,Dr. Yongtao Cui Postdoc Fellow, Stanford University Title: Visualizing Magnetic and Electrical Phenomena in Nano Devices in Time and Space Domains] [Abstract: Current CMOS technology is approaching the scaling limit as set by the semiconductor physics. Exploring new materials as well as other physical interactions than the electron charge, thus provides opportunities to enable new device schemes and architectures with improved performance. In the course of such study, developing new characterization techniques plays an important role to achieve better understandings in device physics and identify new functionalities. In this talk, I will discuss two case studies in probing the magnetic and electrical properties in nano devices in both time and space domains. In the first part, I will present the study of the magnetic dynamics in spin torque devices where spin polarized electrons are used to efficiently manipulate the magnetic devices, such as inducing magnetic switching or precession. We developed single-shot time domain techniques to capture the ultrafast switching processes with unprecedented details. Furthermore, X-ray microscopy measurement is performed to resolve spatially and temporally the magnetic dynamics in a ferromagnetic nanopillar, revealing the structure of the magnetic normal modes excited by spin torque. In the second part, I will introduce a new type of interface conduction at the magnetic domain walls in a magnetic insulator with strong spin-orbit coupling, Nd2Ir2O7. We used Microwave Impedance Microscopy, a scanning probe microscopy technique capable of imaging nanoscale electrical conductivity, to identify such conductive states and perform comprehensive study of its behaviors. We propose that such feature can be potentially used to achieve memory device applications beyond current CMOS scaling barrier.] [Bio: Yongtao Cui received his BS in physics from Peking University in 2005, and his PhD in applied physics from Cornell University in 2011. Since then he has been working as a postdoc in Stanford University. He has been interested in developing new characterization techniques to study device and material physics based on magnetic and electronic materials.]

Cell Culture Basics Training Workshop -- May 19 & 20 2016
by Kwok, Tim 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Dear Fellow Scientists, The 3D3C facility held its first Cell Culture Basics - Training Workshop in February this year. Due to the high demand, the workshop will be held again in March and in April. Some of those interested would like to have another workshop scheduled after Spring semester to avoid overlapping with regular classes. Therefore the 3D3D facility will organize a workshop on May 19 and 20 to accommodate the needs and this workshop is open for registration. Please see the pamphlet below for details. If you have questions, feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Tim Kwok Facility Manager 3D Cell Culture Core (3D3C) Facility Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University ________________________________ [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/b7d6d1ffee56a866e499104cf/images/344ff17f-86a…]
