Program
The course treats the fundamental concepts on the use of techniques based on energetic ions (keV-MeV energies) for the characterization and modification of materials and devices. Some case studies will also be discussed. In particular, the 4 2-hours lectures will be structured as follows:
- lecture #1 - 2h (E. Vittone): introduction to Ion Beam Based Techniques; basic instrumentation; MeV ion/matter interactions; Introduction to the SRIM computer code
- lecture #2 - 2h (E. Vittone): Ion Beam Analysis Techniques: Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE)
- lecture #3 - 2h (P. Olivero): ion beam microscopy: basic concepts and experimental techniques
- lecture #4 - 2h (P. Olivero): ion beam lithography: ion beam fabrication and single-ion doping
- Oggetto:
Course delivery
The lectures are delivered in presence, in Verde room.
- lecture #1 - 2h (E. Vittone): 08/02/2024, 14:00-16:00
- lecture #2 - 2h (E. Vittone): 09/01/2024, 14:00-16:00
- lecture #3 - 2h (P. Olivero): 13/02/2024, 16:00-18:00
- lecture #4 - 2h (P. Olivero): 14/02/2024, 14:00-16:00

Learning assessment methods
The final exam will consist in a powerpoint-style presentation delivered by the student, in wihch one (or more) of the topics treated in the course will be expanded, in connection with the research topics followed by the candidate during his PhD course.
In preparing his presentation, the candidate will have the possibility to refer to both the lecture notes provided by the teachers and integrative articles from the state-of-the-art literature in the field.
After the presentation (of the duration of approximately 20-30 min), an open discussion will follow between the candidate and the teachers, which will determine the exam outcome (pass/reject).
