FI199

Tomorrow will be the first round of FI199 – mainly repeating basic solid state physics and talking about semiconductor devices. Hope already to introduce the heterostructure that we can talk about epitaxy and epitaxial semiconductor nanostructures next week.

Teaching 2nd semester 2017

In my first semester at Unicamp, I will give F329 (Physics lab III) and contribute to FI199 with to lessons in August (Semiconductor nanostructures). Looking forward to do this. Hope, it will be better than in the xkcd strip below… I will announce office ours next week.

AFM workshop at the LNNano

Scanning near field optical (SNOM) microscopy image of a graphene flak obtained during the AFM workshop at the LNNano using the NanoIR2-s system of the facility. We are back to the business of imaging garphene and restart this research line here as well as in collaboration with the CNPEM.   We had a lot of …
