  <body><![CDATA[<div>
<div>
<div><strong>Description:</strong>The Materials Characterization Facility (MCF) at Georgia Tech will offer a short course on &ldquo;Surface Science Techniques &ndash; Focus on Photoelectron Spectroscopy and ToF-SIMS&rdquo; on December&nbsp; 13 &amp; 14, 2018.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>This 2-day short course combines lectures and laboratory, and is designed for individuals interested in hands-on training in XPS and/or SIMS. It will cover essential surface science analytical techniques, including point spectra, area maps, and depth profiles as well as sample preparation techniques.</div>
</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>Attendees will learn how to choose and prepare suitable samples, set up and execute an experiment, and analyze data. This course is suitable for both new and experienced researchers.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><strong>Target Audience:</strong><br />
Attendance is open to researchers from academia, industry and government laboratories/ organizations as well as to current Georgia Tech students, IEN and MCF users. Anyone who is interested in characterization of materials is invited and strongly encouraged to participate. The concepts and techniques presented are broadly applicable to materials.</div>
</div>
