RIVA XII – Iberian Vacuum Conference

RIVA XII – Iberian Vacuum Conference

La reunión Ibérica de Vacío y Aplicaciones, RIVA, es un encuentro bienal conjunto de la Sociedad Española del Vacío (ASEVA) y la Sociedad Portuguesa del Vacío (SOPORVAC), y sigue la serie iniciada en Braga, Portugal, en 1988, cambiando alternativamente la ubicación entre Portugal y España. SOPORVAC organizará la próxima edición de RIVA XII en Braga, Portugal, durante los días 16 y 17 de mayo de 2022, en el Vila Galé Collection Hotel.
El evento es de gran relevancia en campos científicos relacionados con la ciencia e ingeniería de superficies, biointerfaces, ciencia del plasma, tecnologías de procesamiento de materiales que involucran equipos de vacío, como películas delgadas, nanoestructuras, entre otros fundamentos y aplicaciones en la tecnología de la ciencia del vacío. Esperamos contar con un gran número de delegados de Portugal y España, así como de otros países.

Having fun in 2D: From micro-mechanical resonators to memristive transistors

Having fun in 2D: From micro-mechanical resonators to memristive transistors

In this webinar, Daniel Granados PhD will present some results concerning the development of retroreflectors based on MoS2 oscillating membranes and how they can be turned into electroluminescent diodes. He will also present the tailoring of conductive channels on MoS2 FET devices1. Preliminary results on lateral PN homo-junctions, memristive field-effect transistors and photonic crystal cavities will also be presented.

Daniel Granados has a degree in Physical Sciences from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2001) and obtained his doctorate in Physical Sciences from the same university in 2006. He completed his doctoral thesis at the Grupo de Epitaxia de Haces Moleulares of the Instituto de Microelecrónica de Madrid (IMM-CNM-CSIC) on the growth and characterization of nanostructures and devices based on III-V semiconductors. In 2005 he was a visiting researcher at Heriot-Watt University (UK), where he studied optical properties of individual quantum nanostructures. In 2006 he moved to Cambridge (UK) as the leader of the photon confinement laboratory, working for the Toshiba Research Quantum Information Group, where he studied strong coupling interactions in photonic crystal micro-cavities. During this period, he was also a visiting researcher for the Semiconductor Physics Group at the Cavendish Laboratory. In 2009 he returned to the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies in Nanoscience as responsible for designing and developing nanofabrication cleanroom services. Since 2014 he has been the leader of the quantum nanodevices group and executive director of IMDEA-Nanociencia research foundation. His current research focuses on the manufacture of hybrid devices for space, defence, and information technology applications. He has been a member of the scientific committee of ASEVA since 2019. He has published over 80 peer-reviewed articles throughout his scientific career, contributed to more than 50 international congresses, supervised eight PhD thesis, and holds three patents.

Surface Science Seminar 2022

Surface Science Seminar 2022

Surface Science Discussions 2022 online seminar

Let us discuss on surface science! Surface Science Discussions 2022 is an online seminar taking place on 11–12 January, 2022, and featuring lectures from world-class specialists in surface science. The topics of the lectures will concentrate mostly around metal/non-metal compounds at surfaces, with a particular focus on the studies carried out under ultra-high vacuum. The event is organized by the surface science group of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mikołaj Lewandowski from the NanoBioMedical Centre of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, and has received the Honorary Patronage of the Rector of Adam Mickiewicz University Prof. Dr. Bogumiła Kaniewska, the Polish Physical Society (Poznań Branch) and the Polish Vacuum Society. Participation in the seminar is free of charge (following the registration).

Nanocolumnar films: applications in medicine, energy and aerospace

Nanocolumnar films: applications in medicine, energy and aerospace

This webinar will start with showing that nanocolumnar films can be manufactured by magnetron sputtering using the glancing angle deposition configuration. Then, various applications of these nanocolumnar films in several fields will be presented, namely in medicine (antibacterial coatings, bioelectrodes for electric stimulation, SERS substrates), energy (black metal coatings, nanostructured layers for perovskite solar cells, photo-induced self-cleaning surfaces) and aerospace industry (anti-multipactor coatings).

 

 

The 12th International Conference on LEEM PEEM. September 27th, 2021.

The 12th International Conference on LEEM PEEM. September 27th, 2021.

Due to the recent events and the international mobility regulations on this 2020, the LEEM PEEM 12 committee have decided to postpone the Congress, and so guarantee, as is tradition, the participation of people from all around the globe. The new date is september 27 2021.

However, we will keep on the original dates, from September 28 to October 01 2020, 4 days of online dynamics with tutorials and 5 minute video presentations of posters by young researchers. A maximum of 20 slots will be reserved for the poster presentations. The slots are reserved for PhD students and researchers that have obtained their PhDs no longer than 3 years ago.

Find the information in the «Online Event» tab, we will keep publishing information soon. Abstracts submission deadline is July 15. Registration is open and FREE.

We wish you well and hope to see you soon!

On-Surface Synthesis International Workshop (OSS20)

On-Surface Synthesis International Workshop (OSS20)

On-surface synthesis unites the easy tunability of molecular materials and the promises of self-assembly as a revolutionary production method, with the sturdiness of covalently bonded structures. This most attractive combination is drawing the interest of a rapidly increasing number of researchers. Important efforts are being devoted to augment the available on-surface synthesis toolbox, to improve our understanding of the chemical reaction mechanisms, as well as to the synthesis and characterization of new molecular architectures of potential interest for diverse applications.
Because this approach bridges across the fields of chemistry, physics and materials science, the aim of this fourth edition of the “On-Surface Synthesis” international workshop (following OSS14 in Les Houches, OSS16 in San Sebastian and OSS18 in Sant Feliu de Guíxols) is to bring together researchers working in this field from different perspectives, theory and experiment, as well as with chemical, physical and/or application-oriented viewpoints.
