Hello, Lab Open House: Friday, 11/14, at 12:30 pm Lab Open House continues with a tour this Friday of Birck 1217 at 12:30 pm. This week's tour will feature the PVD Product's Pulsed Laser Deposition System, which is a physical vapor deposition system that can be used to deposit oxide thin films. Graduate student Caitlin Burger will be our tour guide. A wide variety of oxides can be deposited via PLD, including ferroelectric oxides, which enables the possibility for non-Silicon based oxide integration into microelectronics. Dinner with NCN: Thursday, 11/20 at 6:00 pm All grad students at Birck are invited to a dinner with the NCN graduate students. NCN is the Network for Computational Nanotechnology. This dinner, on Thurs., Nov 20th at 6 pm at the Purdue Memorial Union, is a great chance to meet computational nanotechnology grad students from a variety of disciplines. If you would like to attend, please e-mail Raseong Kim (kim369@purdue.edu) by Sunday, Nov. 16th. See the flyer below for more information. Thanks, NSAC Begin forwarded message:
