The students will learn techniques for fabrication and characterization of functional nanoelectronic devices through hands-on experiments in a laboratory and in the EPFL cleanroom.
Students will learn simple theoretical models, the theoretical background of finite element modeling as well as its application to modeling charge, mass and heat transport in electronic, fluidic and electromechanical micro and nanosystem.
Students will learn about understanding the fundamentals and applications of emerging nanoscale devices, materials and concepts.Remark: at least 5 students should be enrolled for the course to be given
The lectures of summer school will cover spin-related electronic, optical and magnetic properties in various twodimensional (2D) materials with their underlying physics, relevant experimental characterization techniques and the applications of building novel 2D spintronic devices.
Optically excited 2D materials, host electron-hole pairs called excitons with high binding energies and long lifetimes. Deterministically stacked 2D materials form vdW heterostructures with versatile stacking configurations, making them highly versatile and potentially useful for applications.
