Learning Outcomes
Competences
Upon successful completion of the practical course, students are able to apply particular experimental methods and instrumentation used for the fabrication of a low-dimensional (hetero)structures. They can design, execute and optimize fabrication protocols based on characterization data. They are able to characterize the obtained structures, analyze their results and critically evaluate findings in the context of current scientific literature.

This lab course is methodologically complemented by the lecture Self-Assembly of Nanostructures.

Skills Knowledge
Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to

  • design and develop a protocol for a specific self-assembly sequence (k2/k3);
  • fabricate a crystal/heterostructure with state-of-the-art methods (k3);
  • carry out the conventional structural, magnetic, optical and electrical characterization of the (hetero)structure (k3);
  • analyze and summarize the procedure and the obtained results in a laboratory report (k4/k5);
  • critically discuss the results in the context of scientific literature (k5).
During the course, students will acquire practical knowledge in the following areas and concepts of the self-assembly of nanostructures:

  • experimental methods and instrumentation used for self-assembly;
  • state-of-the-art processes for the fabrication of low-dimensional (hetero)structures;
  • in-situ, ex-situ, and online characterization techniques to monitor and optimize self-assembly;
  • structural, magnetic, optical and electrical characterization methods for analyzing grown materials.
Criteria for evaluation A combined grade will be determined based on the preparation and execution of the experiments, the written protocol and the debriefing meeting with the supervisor, during which the results will be discussed.
Methods The practical course will take place in a state-of-the-art laboratory.
