2nd Training School

Characterization techniques
for epitaxial materials

University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal

13th-17th of June 2023
The “Characterization techniques for epitaxial materials”
training school intends to introduce the relevant concepts and
techniques for the characterization of epitaxial materials.
This training school targets to discuss strategies for the
optimization and new developments of characterization techniques
required to solve key blocking points in epitaxy.
