327-0721-00L	Writing for Publication in Materials Science Number of participants limited to 15. Only for D-MATL doctoral students.	W	2 credits	1G	R. Mihalka
Abstract	This short course is designed to help junior researchers in Materials Science develop the skills needed to write their first research articles.
Learning objective	Writing for Publication in Materials Science is a short course (5 x 4-lesson workshops) designed to help junior researchers develop the skills needed to write their first research articles. The course deals with topics such as - identifying target readerships and selecting outlets, - managing the writing process efficiently, - structuring the text effectively, - producing logical flow in sentences and paragraphs, - editing the text before submission, and - revising the text in response to reviewers' comments. Participants will be expected to produce a number of short texts as homework assignments and will receive individual feedback on these during the course. Wherever feasible, elements of participants' future research articles can be developed as assignments within the course, so it is likely to be particularly useful for those who have their data and are about to begin the writing process.
Content	Part 1: Introduction to the course; the writing context; identifying target readers and targeting journals; using model texts; activating vocabulary; writing clear English sentences; the English verb system in research publications - using tense, aspect, and voice Part 2: The writing process; structural decisions (IMRD and variations); from plan to draft; basics of paragraph structure; reader-friendly paragraph structure; patterns and tools for creating logical flow; the English noun phrase in research publications Part 3: The experimental narrative; process descriptions, explanation and justification; data commentaries; embedding figures, diagrams, etc. Part 4: Introductions; creating a research space (CARS); writing about the literature; reference, citation, paraphrase and quotation; discussion and conclusion sections; overview of abstracts and titles Part 5: Managing the strength of the claim - hedging and emphasis; punctuation and style; the editing process; responding to reviewers' comments; preparing writing portfolios for assessment and research articles for submission.
Prerequisites / Notice	This short course is designed to help junior researchers in Materials Science develop the skills needed to write their first research articles.

327-2128-00L	High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Does not take place this semester. Number of participants limited. Students who wish to obtain ECTS points need to participate at additional hands-on sessions at ScopeM and EMPA. A separate registration is necessary: HRTEM registration form (Link) and PhD-Students will be asked for a fee ( ScopeM MTP - http://www.scopem.ethz.ch/education/MTP.html ).	W	2 credits	3G
Abstract	This advanced course on High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) provides lectures focused on HRTEM and HRSTEM imaging principles, related data analysis and simulation and phase restoration methods.
Learning objective	- Learning how HRTEM and HRSTEM images are obtained. - Learning about the aberrations affecting the resolution in TEM and STEM and the different methods to correct them. - Learning about TEM and STEM images simulation software. - Performing TEM and STEM image analysis (processing of TEM images and phase restoration after focal series acquisitions).
Content	This course provides new skills to students with previous TEM experience. At the end of the course, students will know how to obtain HR(S)TEM images, how to analyse, process and simulate them. Topics: 1. Introduction to HRTEM and HRSTEM 2. Considerations on (S)TEM instrumentation for high resolution imaging 3. Lectures on aberrations, aberration correction and aberration corrected images 4. HRTEM and HRSTEM simulation 5. Data analysis, phase restoration and lattice-strain analysis
