INSD Summer School 2015, Osaka-Tsukuba
(Summer Lectures in 2015 for Nanotechnology/Nanoscience)
From Tuesday, July 21st to Friday, July 31st except on Sunday July 26th.
Let’s participate in the original graduate-level lectures on nanoscience and
nanoengineering delivered live by four lecturers from top European universities!
The Institute for NanoScience Design, Osaka University will invite foreign lecturers from abroad and hold
the INSD summer school 2015 on nanoscience and nanotechnology, composed of four topics each having
ten lectures that are usually taught in topmost European Universities. The summer school is aimed at
fostering international young talent on nanoscience and nanoengineering. This program is shared with
Tsukuba University and connects three campuses, Toyonaka, Suita, and Tsukuba, via video conferencing
systems.
■Lecturers: This year the following four lectures will offer four topics, two from Osaka and two from Tsukuba.
Prof. Thorben Cordes (Zernike Institute, University of Groningen, the Netherlands), from Toyonaka, Osaka
Dr. Emmanuelle Lacaze (CNRS/Institut de NanoSciences de Paris, France), from Toyonaka, Osaka
Associate Prof. Jean-Philippe Attané (Grenoble Alpes University, France), from Tsukuba
Associate Prof. Mogens Christensen (Aarhus University, Denmark), from Tsukuba
*Schedule and abstracts of lectures are on reverse side. Pay attention to the irregular schedule of Prof. Cordes and Dr. Lacaze.
■Lecture rooms: (Toyonaka Campus, capacity: 40) R.N. 305, INSD Seminar Room, 3rd floor of Interdisciplinary
Research Building, (Suita Campus, capacity 12) R.N. F390, INSD Satellite Room, 3rd floor of the first research building
of Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research. Prof. Cordes and Dr. Lacaze give their lectures at Toyonaka Campus.
■Applicants: Priority is given to graduate-school students who take Graduate Minor Program or Graduate Program
for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies for Education, Research and Training in Nanoscience and Nano-technology
(hereafter, nano-program). Other graduate students, undergraduate students, and staff members are also welcome
as long as they can be hosted within the capacity-limits of the respective rooms. Homework and, possibly, a final
exam are imposed only on students. All the attendants are requested to reply to the questionnaire, which would be
helpful in improving the summer school in future.
■Maximum number of topics and units of credit: Graduate students can take two topics at most. One unit of credit
for “International Exchange Lecture on Nanoscience and Nanoengineering A” is given to those students who
complete a series of lectures on one topic. Specially, foreign students desiring to take the nano-program, but not
good at Japanese, are requested to complete two topics in order to transfer two units of credit to the otherwise
required module, “Nanotechnology Career-up Lectures for Social, Legal, Ethical Relationship” in nano-program.
■Method of application: Deadline is 5:00 PM, Friday, July 10th. Send the following information either in Japanese or
in English to the INSD staff who is in charge. E-mail address: prasad@insd.osaka-u.ac.jp
Students: full name, affiliation (graduate school/school, department, D/M/B, school year, affiliated research laboratory), E-mail
address, specify whether one takes nanoprogram, chosen lecturer’s name(s), place of attendance (Toyonaka/Suita).
Staff members: full name, affiliation (institution, affiliated research laboratory, position), E-mail address, chosen lecturer’s
name(s), place of attendance (Toyonaka/Suita).
*If one cannot attend some classes during the series of ten lectures, please specify the date of absence.

(CNRS/Institut des Nano-Sciences de Paris,
Universite Pierre et Marie Curie)
Nanomagnetic systems can provide unique basis of a
post-CMOS technology possessing new functionalities. I
introduce the basic physical concepts allowing room
temperature spin manipulation. Then, I discuss the
behavior of the magnetization in nanomagnetic elements
submitted to magnetic I also discuss spintronics
properties in relation between magnetization and
electronic transport.
I introduce relevant techniques available for the study
of molecular assemblies, in particular scanning probe
microscopies. Then, I discuss how the molecular
assemblies, on graphite, Au(111) and MoS2 substrates
are formed with the balance between intermolecular
and molecular/substrate interactions. I also discuss
how the plasma resonance of gold nanoparticles can be
controlled by the assemblies.

(Zernike Institute, University of Groningen)
X-ray and neutron scattering techniques are discussed
through recent examples of thermoelectric materials and
permanent magnets. I will demonstrate how size and size
distribution, crystallization and crystal growth,
orientation of crystallites, etc. are extracted from X-ray
diffraction data. Neutron diffraction is also discussed to
extract the magnetic structures and phonons.
I introduce various kinds of optical methods to realize
nanoscale resolution. I discuss about resolution and
contrast, various kinds of microscopic methods, such as
fluorescence microscopy, confocal and non-linear
microscopy,
dynamical
fluorescence
imaging,
single-molecule detection, resonance energy transfer.
Then, I discuss various kinds of super-resolution
microscopies.
*The programs are subject to change according to the schedule of foreign lecturers.
