The SPINTECH project organised a Training Workshop on “Advanced methods of nanostructures characterization” in Twente University on the 12-13 July 2021. The 2-day event consisted in a mix of laboratory visits, presentation and use of equipements and training lectures focusing on topics relevant to SPINTECH project. During the event, the 22 participants raised their knowledge on three advanced methods, namely:
Visit of the centre of materials and structures characterization (DANNALAB) - 12 July 2021
Visit of the Magnetometry Lab at Twente University - 13 July 2021
- XRD diffractometry of nano-sized samples;
- Low –temperature measurements and advanced methods of brain-like circuits characterization in the BRAINS Centre;
- SQUID-microscope installation and methods of magnetometry of nanostructures
Visit of the centre of materials and structures characterization (DANNALAB) - 12 July 2021
- The director of DANNALB, Dr. Vladimir Kogan presented XRD installations and laboratory equipments, while explaining the methods used for materials characterization, investigation of various materials, nanostructures, microelectronic elements, as well as multifunctional diffractometer “X’Pert -PRO” of the PANalytical company.
- Participants received a tailored training on the diffractometer and the XRD equipment “X’Pert -PRO” of the PANalytical company - X-ray diffractometer of high resolution, connected with the internet to provide investigation of samples in the remote mode - automated measurements of the XRD- characteristics of layered nanostructures. In particular, participants learned advanced methods of spintronic-samples characterization.
Visit of the Magnetometry Lab at Twente University - 13 July 2021
- Participants have learned methods of magnetic properties of nano-layered structures investigation in the high-sensitive SQUID-microscope and have done measurements of magnetic state of spintronic nanostructures Nb/Co, assisted by Prof. Alexander Golubov using the SQUID-microscope installation.
- The Director of the BRAINS Centre, Prof. Wilfred van der Wiel, gave a lecture on the design and capacity of the brain-like circuits, elaborated in the Centre. Participants also have the chance to learn about methods of low-temperature experiments in the BRAINS Centre, elaborated there for investigation of the brain-like circuits.
