Physics,
If interested in what I did some 15 to 20 years ago,
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,

endotaxial semiconductor quantum dots) of a lecture I held at

overheads in *.pdf format from a lecture (on materials
science issues of compound semiconductors), I held 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.)
