EMMA Club - Technical Coverage of Topics
The wide remit of the EMMA Club allows it to continue to provide a discussion forum covering any or all of the following:
Measurements on polymers, ceramics, ferrites, glasses, liquids, composites, nanocomposites, carbon nanotubes, graphene, multifunctional, multiferroic and biological materials (including biological cells), on organic conductors, fabrics and on natural materials.
EM materials measurement uncertainties, good practices and the choice and optimisation of measurement methods.
Small-scale probing of dielectric and magnetic properties, sub-mm down to nanoscale - including microwave microscopes, AFM-based EM measurements
On-wafer characterisation of functional thin films, including magnetic films
Measurements to support electronics industries: e.g. substrates, PCBs and dielectric resonator materials.
Measurements for health and safety, e.g. to support Specific Absorptions Rate (SAR) and RF exposure metrology.
Measurements on metamaterials and the determination of suitable parameters for characterising them.
Measurements on Radiation Absorbing Materials (RAM) and other high loss materials
Measurements for Defence purposes
Measurements to support RF and microwave processing
Applications of high frequency dielectric spectroscopy
Measurements of intrinsic parameters: conductivity, complex permittivity and permeability, chirality, magnetoelectric coefficients, anisotropy - and extrinsic parameters such as screening, transmission and reflection coefficients.
RF, microwave, millimetre-wave and terahertz (THz) methods including THz pulse imaging (TPI).
Characterisation of materials in measurement cells, with probes and in free-space, including quasi-optic systems.
