IFES Lectures
The IFES lectures are aimed at providing a full introductory course to university students and researchers new to the field. This course is comprised of 16 individual lectures, representing a full semester of teaching. It can thus be offered as a credit course at academic institutions.
In a highly specialized field like APT and field ion microscopy, we hope that this course provides a great starting point to researchers new to the topic. We also believe that that established researchers will be very interested in broadening their horizons and seeing things they are already familiar with presented by colleagues with a different perspective.
COURSE MATERIALS:
VIDEOS: The lectures are provided as video lectures through the official YouTube channel of the international field emission society. View them by clicking the IFES logo.
SLIDES, CODE, etc.: Supplementary materials such as lecture slides, code for simulations and data analysis, etc. are provided through the webpage of the IFES.

IFES Lecturers
The International Field Emission Society (IFES) is pleased that many of the most distinguished researchers in the field have agreed to contribute lectures to this series.
This includes titans of the field that have taken the humble field ion microscope all the way to the powerful atom probe instruments we use today, as well as younger researchers that have made their mark improving upon that work and broadening the spectrum of projects to many more fields than just a few years ago.
