Mechanics, properties and high resolution characterization of surface

From 15 to 18 May 2023, the PhD Excellence Course entitled "Mechanics, properties and high resolution characterisation of surfaces", held by Professor Don A. Lucca - Regents Professor and Herrington Chair in Advanced Materials at Oklahoma State University, will be held in Classroom DIFIS 2 of the Politecnico.

Course outiline


The course will be 20 hours which will include lectures and student work outside of class. It will be given over a period of 4 days. It will be divided, approximately equally, between Part 1 which will cover the mathematical foundations for the field of surface mechanics, and Part 2 which will give an overview of various experimental tools which are used for high resolution characterization of the mechanical, structural, chemical and optical properties of surfaces.
