have a look
at some power point slides from a seminar
(on aspects of the
nanomaterials challenge, image-based nanocrystallography by means of transmission
electron goniometry & how it might be developed into commercial products)
I held at the FEI Company, Hillsboro Campus
have a look at some power
point slides from the second part of a lecture (on goniometry and
direct crystallographic analyses in TEM) I held at the
National Center for Electron Microscopy at Berkeley
click here
for some 30 power point slides (on epitaxial and
endotaxial semiconductor quantum dots) of a lecture I held at
Oregon State University at Corvallis
click here for
overheads in *.pdf format from a lecture (on materials
science issues of compound semiconductors), I held at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
have a look at
the overheads in *.pdf format from a popular science lecture (on creating atomic
order in semiconductor quantum dots) I held at the Rochester
Institute of Technology (I am sorry,
there is always some mix-up with some symbols in *.pdf format.)
