SUMMARY:EBL and Data Preparation workshop on September 28th-29th
DESCRIPTION:MCN is organising a free two-day EBL and Data Preparation workshop on September 28-29 (9am-4pm).  Dr. Nit Taksatorn from GenIsys (Layout Beamer Software) will hold a workshop with a focus on new features in EBPG and Layout Beamer followed by a couple of selected applications from EBL user-base worldwide. \nAs a part of this workshop\, we will also have a separate\, special session of the EBL users meeting. It is an opportunity for our users to present some of their fabrication work at MCN. The idea behind the presentations is to encourage users to discuss the fabrication challenges they had or may still have and initiate some discussions around the table to get ideas and input from other users\, especially from the Layout Beamer team\, if it is design related. The main purpose of this series is to bring the EBL user community together\, share projects and insights. \nParticipants in the workshop will prepare short presentations the fabrication aspects of their device with a focus on the Beamer software as well as lithography. Talks should be 10-15 min long. \nAll EBL users are encouraged to attend. To register for the event\, please email Dr Fatima Eftekhari @ fatima.eftekhari@nanomelbourne.com

SUMMARY:2016 Australian Symposium on Nano-Scale Resolved Infrared Spectroscopy
DESCRIPTION:Background\nInfrared nano-spectroscopy is becoming a standard platform for opto-chemical analysis of molecular\, plasmonic and photonic materials beyond the diffraction limit of light. This enhanced spatial resolution is achieved by combining scanning probe and infrared microscopies in a single experiment\, in which optical resolution only depends on the form factor of the probe. Recently\, with the use of broadband sources with high spectral irradiance through the mid-infrared range\, such as synchrotron sources\, many open questions related to the vibrational response of nanomaterials in the fingerprint region are closer to be elucidated. Single cell chemistry\, two-dimensional metamaterials\, nano-biomedicine\, soft nanomaterials design and nanoparticles-based drug delivery are some of the potential areas to be benefited the technique. \nObjectives of the Symposium\nThis symposium will offer over 2 days an interactive platform to learn about nano-scale resolved infrared spectroscopy through general lectures\, case studies\, modelling and data analysis session.\nAtomic Force Microscopy (AFM) data analysis as well as advanced IR micro-spectroscopy will also be highlighted and presented to provide a comprehensive overview for new users to the potential and limitations of the techniques. \nSymposium Program Here

SUMMARY:Monash Science Public Lecture - Nobel Laureate Sir Konstantin Novoselov
DESCRIPTION: \nMATERIALS IN FLATLAND\nA Monash Science Public Lecture by Nobel Laureate Sir Konstantin Novoselov \nEvent Description\nWhen one writes with a pencil\, thin flakes of graphite are left on a surface. Some of them are only one angstrom thick and can be viewed as individual atomic planes cleaved away from the bulk. This strictly two dimensional (2D) material called graphene\, was presumed not to exist in the free state and remained undiscovered until a few years ago. \nThe very unusual electronic properties of this material\, as well as the possibility for its chemical modification\, make graphene a promising candidate for future electronic applications. Probably the most important ‘property’ of graphene is that it has opened a floodgate of experiments on many other 2D atomic crystals. They cover a massive range of properties: from the most insultating to the most conductive\, from the strongest to the softest. \nSchedule\n5:00pm – 6:00pm: Pre-lecture networking time. Refreshments will be served.\n6:00pm – 7:00pm: Public lecture \nAbout the Speaker\nSir Konstantin Novoselov is Langworthy Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. His work with Andrew Geim to isolate graphene for the first time earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.
