Announcement
Crystal Growth Course
Clarkson University is
pleased to announce a course on crystal growth, with emphasis on solidification
and formation of thin films.This course may either be taken at the graduate
level or the undergraduate level.
-
Experience: Directional solidification of metal alloys, halides,
semiconductors and organic compounds; vapor growth of diamond films and
refractory compounds; vacuum deposition of thin films; heavy ion implantation;
materials characterization by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy,
electron channeling patterns, Hall mobility, bending tests, Raman spectroscopy,
etc.
-
Some achievements:First to model heat transfer in Bridgman solidification,
explain the mechanism for detached solidification, determine the influence
of convection and freezing rate fluctuations on eutectic microstructure,
and observe reduced convection during centrifugation. Leadership
positions in the American Association for Crystal Growth and the International
Academy of Astronautics.
Locale and time: Wednesdays,
6:30 to 9:00 in Clarkson’s Center for Advanced Materials Processing. January
10 to May 3, with breaks February 11 & 12, March 18-22.
