Course Materials

for the Summer School for Silicon Nanotechnology


Textbook

The course follows the book "Porous Silicon in Practice" (Wiley, 2012). This book provides background on porous silicon nanostructures, their preparation, and their characterization. Each chapter contains descriptive experiments with step-by-step instructions to guide the trainee through the preparation of common porous silicon nanomaterial types.


Calendar

A schedule of the lectures, training and program activities. Each instrument has its own calendar; for training or research access you must sign-up for a time block in the instrument calendar. Contact the lab manager for access
