BNC 151 badge re-instatement quiz
Every January, all Birck users are required to take the BC 151 quiz and pass with at least an 80% to maintain access to Birck.  Most of you have completed this and thank you for taking care of this.  The last chance for anyone who has lost access to take the quiz is April 30th, 2019.  At that point, you will have to re-take BNC 105 and BNC 150.



Two XPS related  workshops will be held May, 2019. It is a good practice to have at least one trained student in each research group using or planning to use Surface Analysis Characterization tools.

1) Introduction to XPS workshop - What you should know about X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (http://bit.ly/1eqIM8U), May 1-2, 2019 @ 9:00 AM - BRK 1001.

Course Description: XPS is widely used to determine the chemical composition of a surface (element concentrations, chemical states, lateral and depth distributions, etc.). Nowadays XPS has become a standard technique for the characterization of solid surfaces. The course will teach how and what information can be provided by XPS. The quantification of the XPS data will be discussed in detail (thickness calculation, coverage, atomic percentage, etc.)

Instructor: Dmitry Zemlyanov, PhD, Senior  Surface Science Application Scientist, Birck Nanotechnology Center, Purdue University

2) XPS Lite Workshop Introduction to CasaXPS (http://bit.ly/IYeOeu), May 9-10, 2019 @ 9:00 AM - BRK 1001.

Course Description: XPS is widely used to determine the chemical composition of a surface (element concentrations, chemical states, lateral and depth distributions, etc.). Nowadays XPS has become a standard technique for the characterization of solid surfaces. However, XPS data require thorough analysis using a dedicated software. Purdue University has a site license for CasaXPS allowing to perform a complete analysis of XPS data. The course aims to teach (1) what analysis should be applied to raw XPS data and (2) how this can be done using CasaXPS. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of XPS data using CasaXPS will be discussed in detail as well. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops to follow data analysis using CasaXPS.

Instructor: Dmitry Zemlyanov, PhD, Senior  Surface Science Application Scientist, Birck Nanotechnology Center, Purdue University (dzemlian at purdue.edu<mailto:dzemlian at purdue.edu>)
