Overordnede kursusmål
This course will give you the tools and techniques you need to
perform electrical characterisation of nanomaterials based devices.
Through lectures, problem sets and laboratory practical work, you
will gain an understanding of how to minimise noise, maximise
signals and eliminate common sources of measurement error and
device failure in these very
sensitive systems.
After completing the course, you will be able to critically analyse
and discuss how electrical
measurement systems for nanomaterials devices are put together and
how techniques are applied, as well as design your own measurement
set-ups, surpassing common ‘black-box’ approaches.
Læringsmål
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
- Assess, select and use convenient, high-precision, DC and/or AC
circuits to measure devices made from novel nanomaterials
- Understand the different sources of noise and measurement error
and design better measurement systems on this basis
- Make informed selections of measurement devices and geometry,
cabling and interconnects, shielding, grounding and other system
design parameters
- Perform data analysis to obtain intrinsic electrical properties
of conducting nanomaterials (resistivity, mobility)
- Troubleshoot common measurement problems such as low signal to
noise, source loading effects, parasitic resistances (leakage)
capacitances and inductances, impedance mismatches, etc.
- Design small practical circuits for filtering,signal buffering
and amplification
- Carry out a short independent measurement project
- Write laboratory records and document research results
- Prepare and present a talk
Kursusindhold
Each week is structured into subsections. In the beginning of the
week we will discuss the required material for the week in class
and you will complete problem sets to cement your understanding. In
the latter half of the week you will apply the knowledge you have
gained through thematic laboratory exercises. At the end of the
week you will work on a concrete, small research project and
presents the results in a report and a brief talk to your
colleagues.
