Materials Characterization Workshop Series
The MCF workshops are designed to provide fundamental technical principles and practical sample preparation and measurement tips required to acquire high quality data from the instruments. Dr. Ian Lightcap, Research and Facilities Program Director, provides the instruction and training for the workshops. He also provides tours of the MCF laboratory located at 132 Nieuwland Science Hall, as well as the ND Energy laboratories located at 116-120 Stinson Remick Hall. For more information, contact Dr. Lightcap at ilightca@nd.edu.
