The school is over. Thanks for coming !

Last update: 12/10/2024
We organize a summer school of our Network NS-CPU in October on the island of Porquerolles. The school is hold in English and will take place

from Monday 07/10/2024 (starting after lunch) until Friday 11/10/2024 (until lunch) at the IGESA center.

Description

The aim of our school is to enable participants to acquire the theoretical, technical and scientific foundations of the various near-field microscopies operating in ultra-high vacuum and their associated spectroscopies. The school primarily targets young researchers, CNRS and university researchers, PhD and post-doctoral students, as well as engineers and technicians from the industrial sector.
The lecture courses will address the various scientific themes defined in the 5 axes of the NS-CPU network. The program will cover the scientific concepts of UHV near field microscopy used in nanosciences. It is planned to teach also the basic theoretical concepts of the two microscopy techniques, STM and AFM:

Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and its derivatives (photon STM and magnetic field STM)
STS spectroscopy methods (I(V), I(Z), dI/dV imaging, etc.)
Non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM)
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and related force spectroscopy methods (∆f(V), ∆f(z), EFM, etc.)

Teaching elements

The school will include several types of activities: lecture courses, poster sessions and enough time for open discussions:

11lecture courses given by national and internationally renowned researchers. A course will last 90 minutes with an integrated ~5-10 minute break and a 30-minute break between the courses.
2 poster sessions will take place in the afternoon, on two days. This will be an opportunity for all participants (PhD students, postdocs and researchers) to present their latest results and to discuss the results with experts in the field.
Enough time for open discussions are foreseen throughout the school. This will give researchers and students the chance to discuss everything about SPM with the lecturers or with each other.
