Invited lecturer: Prof. Michael Wübbenhorst, K.U.Leuven, Belgium

The Polymer and Soft Matter Group (PSMG) at Materials Physics Center (CSIC-UPV/EHU)
San Sebastián, Spain, organizes a laboratory course on broad-band dielectric spectroscopy.

The course is open to graduate students and researchers in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or Biology.

The laboratory course will consist of lectures and experimental sessions. The lectures will include an introduction to polarization theory, dielectric materials and instrumentation. Selected experiments on soft-matter and polymers will be conducted and analyzed by the participants. Furthermore, there will be two Invited Tutorials on specific topics involving intensively dielectric relaxation experiments.

It is the aim of the course to introduce participants into the dielectric relaxation experimental techniques and its applications in soft-condensed matter research.

Course Responsible: Prof. A. Alegría
