PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL
The Course will have tutorials in the optical studies of surfaces and interfaces (solid-solid and solid-liquid), epitaxial growth, graphene-like materials, biomaterials, low-dimensional systems, dynamics and optical diagnostics relevant to new materials and structures of interest for present and anticipated (spin) electronic devices.
In addition, there will be presentations by the participants on their latest results in these fields.
An excursion to Segesta-Selinunte Archeological site is planned together with several local happenings
The following arguments will be treated during the lectures (speakers to be confirmed):

POETIC TOUCH
Thucydides (~500 B.C.) said that the Elymi – founders of Erice – were survivors of the destruction of Troy. Ancient historians agreed that Erice was the oldest city in Europe.
In Erice you can admire the Castle of Venus, the Cyclopean Walls (~800 B.C.) and the Gothic Cathedral (~1300 A.D.). Erice is at present a mixture of ancient and medieval architecture.
