Speaker
Description
With Stefan Kubsky and colleagues, from the Surface Laboratory at Synchrotron Soleil (France) and support from HORIBA (Saclay, France).
The session begins with a comprehensive introduction (20-30 min) about the state of the art in nm-positioning explaining the experimental challenge for the students. An experimental setup including a simple but nm-precise piezo-actuator will be created by the students. It will be powered by simple electronics and its movements monitored by an integrated strain gauge. In collaboration with HORIBA, a new optical sensor (OXYO, 2+1axes, nm-resolution), based on superresolution will be assembled and installed in parallel. Apart from the piezo-actuator and the OXYO-sensor, a PC with adapted software, powersupplies, multimeters, some optical elements, mechanics and an oscilloscope are part of the setup.
Results of the measurements will be compared and presented.
Take a comprehensive peek into one of the basics of nano-science: To see where you are !
