Microfabrication Short Course at IEN
|
|
|
|
This intensive two-day short course combines classroom lectures and laboratory-based hands-on fabrication in the IEN cleanroom. Attendance is open to the general technical community and is not limited to current Georgia Tech students or IEN users. Anyone interested in cleanroom fabrication techniques is strongly encouraged to attend this course.

Instrumentation Spotlight:
GC-MS and New Analytical Tools
|
|
|
JSNN has recently completed a major instrumentation update to its Core Analytical Chemistry Lab. New instrumentation added or replaced capabilities in multiple areas of study. The Agilent 8890-5977b is a multipurpose single-quad GC-MS system with a 10 fg detection limit with an autosampler for high throughput work.

|
For liquid separation work, an Agilent 1290 Infinity II UHPLC with diode array detector (DAD), autosampler, and is meant for traditional HPLC and UHPLC high-resolution workflows. To expand JSNN’s elemental analysis capability, an Agilent 7900 ICP-MS with single nanoparticle analysis and autosampler has a wide dynamic range and can measure down to ppt levels of trace metals. In spectroscopy, JSNN added an Agilent Cary 7000 UV-Vis-NIR with UMS, Thermo is50 FTIR with RaptIR microscope, and WiTec Alpha 300R Confocal Raman microscope; each the top-level offering and maximum resolution available. A TA Discovery TGA 5500 was also added with IR furnace for the fastest heating and cooling (up to 1200C) available. Previously, the Nikon XTH225 ST was highlighted for micro-CT analysis of larger samples. Finally, a Micromeritics ASAP 2060 BET system for surface area and porosity measurements was recently added.

Education and Outreach Department from IEN
Exhibiting at the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) Conference
The National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) conference will be held in Atlanta this year at the Georgia World Congress Center, March 23-25. The Education & Outreach department of the Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology (IEN) will be exhibiting, along with the National Nanotechnology Coordinating Office (NNCO) from Washington, D.C. The NSTA is a community of science educators and professionals committed to best practices in teaching science and STEM and its impact on student learning. The high school teachers who took part in IEN’S Summer 2022 Research Experience for Teachers (RET) will share their experience by presenting a talk at the conference on March 24th. The RET program was funded by the National Science Foundation and is part of a larger program within the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI). Joining the IEN cohort will be teachers sponsored by the University of Minnesota, the University of Nebraska, and Northwestern University. IEN will be showcasing their cleanroom and labs to teachers from the conference on Friday, March 24th. Teachers from the conference will be transported to the Marcus Nanotechnology building to tour the cleanroom and the Materials Characterization Facility, and be shown the capabilities of the facility and notable research accomplishments.
