Summer School
1 week (August 18-22, 2014) and 1 week before the course for
litteratur study and writing a short report as a pre-assignment for
the course.
Undervisningens placering:
The course will take place both at DTU campus and Copenhagen
University.
Undervisningsform:
Lectures, workshops, discussion and exercises in groups and in
plenum, project work, active participation in Carbonhagen
conference incl. analysing of selected talks. You are expected to
take active part in lectures, workshops, project work and
exercises.
The overall aim of the course is to provide an insight in current
challenges in state of the art experimental and theoretical
research within 2D carbon nanomaterials. While the students will
learn about several core techniques and modelling concepts in the
field of graphene and other materials, the main focus will be to
study, analyse and learn how to give a critical feedback on key
challenges in this area, such as synthesis, characterization,
fabrication, devices, computation and etc. The course instructors
will assist students in learning about the physical and chemical
properties of carbon nanomaterials, teach how to give critical
feedback on research results and help to develop new scientific
solutions. The Carbonhagen 2014 conference is an opportunity to use
the techniques and knowledge in practice, as well as being a place
where researchers share emerging results, develop ideas for new
projects and meet other researchers.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Understanding of important theoretical and practical aspects in
graphene research, in particular within synthesis, chemistry,
molecular and solid-state electronics
Solve open problems within carbon nanomaterials fabrication,
processing, properties, characterization and applications
Combine theoretical/numerical and experimental data to
understand 2D nanomaterial devices
Apply relevant modeling methods and computational tools to
understand of properties and related phenomena of 2D materials
Critically compare recent presented scientific research results
(poster and talk) in terms of state of the art, relevance and
feasibility for applications
Identify challenges in emerging research fields as well as
possible roadmaps towards solutions
Evaluate, criticize, provide feedback and develop solutions on
the theoretical and experimental work of other researchers
Demonstrate learning concepts of the course by completing a
critical report at the end of the course
Kursusindhold:
The course is a mini-PhD summer school with a focus on the
understanding and analysis of current research challenges in the 2D
materials field. Teachers will help you to develop your insight and
understanding of this exciting, and rapidly developing research
area. Students will have an opportunity to interact with
world-renowned researchers, critically analyse selected talks in
terms of the reported research results and challenges.
The course focus on unsolved problems, ongoing research and
emerging challenges in graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and other
layered materials. The course merges with the Carbonhagen 2014
conference.
The course content:
Challenges in fabrication, transfer and device fabrication.
Lecturers from DTU, CNG and KU.
Challenges in Molecular Nanoelectronics (Takhee Lee, Gwangju
University).
Challenges in Computation and Theory (Carbon nanotechnology theory
and computer modelling). Lecturers: Ari Harju (Aalto University,
FI), Danish company QuantumWise.
Challenges in Solid-State 2D materials. Lecturers: Mauricio
Terrones (Pennsylvania University, US) and James Hone (Columbia
University, US).
Participation in Carbonhagen 2014. The conference is focusing on
the demonstration of state-of-art results in carbon nanomaterial
research area, highlighting present research
difficulties/challenges. Course participants can attend the
conference and present their own poster. During the conference the
summer school participants will work on analysis of selected
scientific talks.
DTU has been involved in graphene and 2D material research since
2008. DTU is involved in large European projects: Graphene
Flagship, GRAFOL, GLADIATOR and large national projects: DAGATE,
NIAGRA. The Centre of Excellence, Center for Nanostructured
Graphene, gathers experimentalist and theorists in developing a
deeper understanding of how graphene can be modulated through
patterning, to create future technologies within electronics,
optics and fluidics.
Litteraturhenvisninger:
Research and review papers on 2D materials: graphene and graphene
derivates (rGO, GO, hBN/G).
