Teachig
The Institute has two amphitheatres equipped with a complete set of audio
visual systems. Teaching rooms also equipped with audio visual systems.
Two specific rooms for computational physics for 30 students. Laboratories
on basic and modern physics. Library comprises a vast collection of books
and journals. Is equipped with a computer net work allowing access to the
web.
Research
Electron Microscopy Center with two TEM microscopes one of 120 kV and
another of 200 kV. One diffractometer for materials diffraction, two scanning
microscopes. Two ion implanters of 0.5 e 3 MeV. Two diffractometers for
powder diffraction. SQUID, PPMS, VSM, 2 AGM´s, XPS, AUGER, 4
EVAPORATORS, SAXS facility, AFM, Elipsometer, microelectronic
laboratory, Analogical electronic lab. In near future a Focused ion Beam
FIB. Two cluster for parallel computation.
1.3-Infra-Estructure
Extension
•
Open House Program of UFRGS. The IF-UFRGS participates actively in
this program with the students that explain and expose their scientific works
for the community. Many demonstration in physics are also exhibit.
•
Workshop of Graduate Students. In its fourth edition. It was created and
is organized by the students to show their scientific works to the
community of the Institute of Physics.
•
Winter School of IF. In its third edition it is offer to students of other
universities and students of UFRGS that want participate. It is held in
parallel with the workshop of students.
1.3-Infra-Estructure
Extension
There are three extetion programs
a) Astronomy itinerant laboratory, to spread out the astronomy to the
community inside and outside of our State. It opens the opportunity to make
observations, watch videos, movies about astronomy and astrophysics.
b) Itinerant Laboratory for Science and Technology to spread out
science and technology to the community inside and outside of our State,
giving seminars and showing and videos movies about science and
technology.
c) Seminars at the Livraria Cultura. The IF-UFRGS promotes seminars on
physics and astronomy given by the researchers about themes of interest in
science. It is open to the people that are interested in sciences.
