Hitachi - Gatan Cathodoluminescence - EBIC Workshop: Characterization of Photovoltaic Materials in the SEM
|
 |
You are invited to a complimentary two-day Hitachi - Gatan Cathodoluminescence (CL) - EBIC Workshop at Hitachi High Technologies America in Pleasanton, CA.
Description: This workshop will cover the SEM imaging and application of two important techniques for characterization of photovoltaic materials: cathodoluminescence and EBIC techniques using the Hitachi SU6600 Schottky Field Emission VP SEM and the Gatan MonoCL3+ and SmartEBIC systems.
Presentations on both CL/EBIC and VP-FESEM capabilities will provide a worthwhile and educational experience for all participants. Although pre-prepared specimens will be used for the live demonstrations, attendees may arrange to submit suitable specimens for further work. Appropriate specimen preparation and analytical techniques for both CL and EBIC analysis will be discussed in the lecture sessions.
Location: The Workshop will be held at:
Hitachi High Technologies Headquarters
5100 Franklin Drive
Pleasanton, CA 94588
Phone: 1-925-218-2821
Visitor parking will be available.
REGISTRATION: Please email John Hyun, Gatan Marketing Communications Manager, at jhyun@gatan.com with your full contact information.
The maximum attendance is 15 participants.
