Outline • What • When • Why • How – highlights • So what – learning
what • 15th International Summer School on Crystal Growth • ISSCG – 15 • ModernMain Building oftheGdanskUniTechnologywith c. 10 cleanrooms • Participantsfor near 20 countries (students, postdocs, researchers) • Main topics covered were • From Jan Czochralski to high-pressure nitride growth – the development and topics of crystal growth in Poland; • Thermodynamics of crystal growth; • Nucleation and Growth Kinetics; • Continuum transport of heat, mass, and momentum in crystal growth processes: Fundamentals and computational modeling; • In-situ observation of crystal growth by advanced optical methods; • Growth from melt;
Maintopicscovered • Vapor (PVT) (with focus on SiC and AlN);Solution growth of intermetallic compounds; • Crystal defects; • Epitaxial Growth - from Basic Concepts to Reality; • Metalorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy of GaN on Si: from Principles to Devices; • Pivotal Role of Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) in the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology; • Fundamentals of crystallography; • Characterization (electrical, optical, structural, chemical); • Biomineral and Biomimetic Crystallization; • Self organizing materials; • Nanocrystals; • Graphene - Chemistry and Physics of Epitaxial Growth. • New trends and challenges in crystal growth in scientific and commercial aspects.
when • 4 – 10 August 2013 • WeekofGdanskCityFestival
why • To learn the main crystal topics in the crystal growth field • To establish new contacts
How – highlights • Major event in the crystal growth field • The closest to LU ASI in a longer period of time. Next – in Japan • Strong German – Polandco-operation • JanCzochralski • Gdansk-Warsaw; summerschoolandworkshops – mainconference; freebeer • Massive crystals: http://www.ikz-berlin.de/index.php Das Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) bearbeitet Probleme der Züchtung kristalliner Werkstoffe von der Grundlagenforschung bis zur technologischen Reife. Gründung 1992 auf Grund einer Empfehlung des Wissenschaftsrates Züchtung, Bearbeitung, Charakterisierung von Kristallen für institutsinterne Zwecke, Projektpartner und Kunden in Forschungseinrichtungen und der Industrie Entwicklung von Technologien zur Darstellung und Bearbeitung von Kristallen Entwicklung von Verfahren und Ausrüstungen zur Kristallcharakterisierung Entwicklung und Bau von Anlagenkomponenten für die Züchtung und Bearbeitung von Kristallen
Sowhat – learning • Contacts • Calculations of massive Si growth • Evacuated ampoules – in Gdansk • Miniaturization of experiments • To do research where it is supported • Co-operation
