Aimed in priority towards young researchers (PhD students and young post-docs), the courses will be focused on the fundamentals of deposition and characterization methods, demonstrating also the advanced applications of epitaxial materials. Preliminary list of lectures:

  • Metalorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy of Nitrides and III-V Nanoheterostructures (Alice Hospodková, Institute of Physics ASCR, Prague, Czechia)
  • Pulsed Laser Deposition: Principles and Applications (Adam Dubroka, Dept Condensed Matter Physics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czechia)
  • Scaling Up: SiC Epitaxy for Industrial Production (Tomáš Novák, onsemi, Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, Czechia)
  • Fabrication and Characterization of Magnetic Nanowires and Nanotubes (Michal Staňo, CEITEC, Brno, Czechia)
  • Non-destructive Characterization of Crystalline Defects using Diffraction Techniques in Scanning Electron Microscopes (Martin Čalkovský, ThermoFisher Scientific, Brno, Czechia)
  • X-ray Structural Characterization of Epixatial Materials (Ondřej Caha, Dept Condensed Matter Physics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czechia)
  • Advanced Scanning Probe Microscopy (Petr Klapetek, Czech Metrology Institute, Brno, Czechia)

and technical sessions:

  • Hands-on Demonstration of Semiconductor Device Technology (Petr Mikulík, Dept Condensed Matter Physics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czechia)
  • Hands-on Atomic Force Microscopy Data Analyses (David Nečas, CEITEC, Brno, Czechia)

Transportation to Brno

You can reach Brno by bus or train from any of the following conveniently located airports: Prague (PRG), Vienna (VIE), and Bratislava (BTS). Vienna airport is directly connected to trains, but you must change at least once. You have to take public transportation from Prague airport to Prague central station, from which direct trains to Brno depart every hour during the day.

If you take the train, you will arrive at the Brno central main, known as Brno hlavní nádraží. If you choose the bus, you will arrive at Brno Hotel Grand near the central station.

Transportation within Brno city

To reach the Kotlářská campus (Kotlářská 2) from the Brno central station (Brno hlavní nádraží) take tram No. 12, which has Technologický Park as its terminus. Get off at the stop Konečného náměstí, the nearest tram station:

Some technical sessions will be held at CEITEC, Brno University of Technology (Purkyňova 123). To get there, take again tram No. 12 and get off at its terminus, Technologický Park.

Accommodation

Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation. We recommend using Booking.com or Airbnb for making reservations. The closest hotel to the Kotlářská campus is hotel Continental.
