Lab Open House: Today, 12:30 pm, Rm 1031
by Laura Biedermann 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hello, NSAC, the Nanotechnology Student Advisory Council, is hosting a lab open house today from 12:30 - 12:45 pm. Lab Open House is a way to learn what goes on in all those labs you walk by everyday. We also hope that learning about the equipment in each lab will help with future collaborations. Please come by the Rm 1031, the scanning probe microscopy lab, at 12:30 pm today to see an atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Thanks, Laura Biedermann

by Robert Wortman 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

All, Some of you will be receiving this in duplicate, but for those who are not, Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) is helping to sponsor a paintball outing this Sunday. The total cost to you is only $20, which includes everything you need to play (gun rental, air, paintballs, mask). Everyone can attend, so feel free to join. Just come by and see me in BRK2222, and I can get you signed up. -Rob

This email is being sent on behalf of Valerie Lawless, DP Engagement Operations Manager. Greetings, The poster printer, located in MRGN 233, is now available for staff and students to use. We have two new students, Joshua and Paula, that have the following office hours: M-W 10:45 a.m. 12:30 p.m. and Thurs 9:45 a.m. 12:30 p.m. M-F 2:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. They have been trained to use all the equipment within that room and are available to assist you with your printing needs during those specified office hour times. If you need to use the poster printer outside of office hours, please check in with Valerie Lawless or Jackie Lanter in MRGN 120 suite. If your department sends a student that is not familiar with using the poster printer and it is not during office hours, a staff member from your area should accompany the student for access to be granted promptly. Otherwise, a staff or student may email their file to the poster print staff and they will print it for you during office hours: judoma(a)purdue.edu or lin19(a)purdue.edu Please allow 48 hours for them to print your poster and have it ready for you to pick up in MRGN 233. You can work with them to establish a pick up time as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Valerie Valerie Lawless Engagement Operations Manager Purdue University Discovery Park Burton D.

REMINDER: NCN@Purdue Summer School
by Deborah S. Starewich 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

This announcement appeared in the weekly memo dated June 9; Prof. Lundstrom has asked that we send out a reminder. 2008 NCN@Purdue Summer School - LAST CHANCE TO ATTEND "Electronics from the Bottom Up" July 14-25, 2008 Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN Open to Purdue faculty and students at no charge. You must register online NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, at: https://www.ncn.purdue.edu/Workshops/2008summerschool/internalregistration For questions or concerns, please contact Alicia Goodman (goodman(a)purdue.edu) The field of semiconductor microelectronics is undergoing a transformation to nanoelectronics. This transformation has been largely driven by a ³top-down² approach that extends concepts and techniques originally developed for bulk semiconductors and large device to the new field of nanoscale device technology. But to exploit the opportunities that nanoscience presents, engineers will need to learn how to think about materials, devices, circuits, and systems in a new way to complement traditional, top-down understanding with new, ³bottom-up² perspectives. Electronics from the Bottom Up is designed to promote the bottom-up perspective by beginning at the nanoscale, and working up to the micro and macroscale of devices and systems. For electronic devices, this means first understanding the smallest electronic device a single molecule with two contacts. For carrier transport, it means beginning at the nanoscale where ballistic transport, atomistic effects, and stochastic effects dominate. For MOSFETs, it means beginning with the ³ultimate² MOSFET. Electronics from the Bottom Up does not mean ab initio numerical simulations it means beginning with concepts and approaches that are both simple and sound -- Alicia Goodman Administrative Assistant Network for Computational Nanotechnology Purdue University Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 West State Street West Lafayette, IN 47907 Phone: 765-494-7715 Fax: 765-494-0811 email: goodman(a)purdue.edu website: www.nanoHUB.org ------ End of Forwarded Message

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Two 3-year postdoctoral positions in Plasma Nanoscience at CSIRO, Australia (Deadline 18 July 2008) The newly established Plasma Nanoscience Centre Australia based at CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering, Lindfield (Sydney), NSW, AUSTRALIA is now recruiting three highly-productive, ambitious researchers (2 Post doctoral fellows are among them) with a range of complementary experimental, theoretical, and computational skills to contribute to the project led by CEO Science Leader Professor Kostya (Ken) Ostrikov on plasma-aided fabrication of structural and functional nanomaterials, nanostructures, and nanoscale assemblies. The research programme will involve close interaction with the group led by Professor A. B. Murphy and other researchers at CMSE and other divisions of CSIRO. You will be participating in cutting-edge multidisciplinary research aimed at finding the most effective plasma-related controls and developing advanced and versatile fabrication approaches, processes and tools for the production of next-generation nanomaterials. This research will involve a large-scale international collaboration and is expected to result in a large number of publications in high-impact international journals. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the plasma - aided nanofabrication techniques and approaches (see, e.g., K. Ostrikov and A. B. Murphy, J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys., v. 40, p.2223, 2007; K. Ostrikov, Rev. Mod. Phys. v. 77, p. 489, 2007, and K.Ostrikov and S. Xu, Plasma-Aided Nanofabrication: from Plasma Sources to Nanoassembly, Wiley-VCH, 2007), that will be used in this project. The positions are initially for 3 years with the possibility of further fixed-term extension(s) for up to another 2 years and even longer, subject to funds availability, performance and need. Outstanding performers may be offered permanent positions at the end of their fixed-term appointments. Salary and pension fund contributions (superannuation) are very competitive internationally. For further details about these positions, selection criteria and instructions how to apply, please refer to https://recruitment.csiro.au/asp/job_details.asp?RefNo=2008%2F669 or to CSIRO Careers Website https://recruitment.csiro.au/asp/index.asp (key in the Position Reference Number 2008/669).
