Surface and materials characterization
To design plasma-derived surfaces and materials for functional applications requires intricate understanding of process-property-function relations. Therefore, a through characterization of Surfaces and Materials is at the heart of the competences of research programme. The analytic competencies span state-of-the art methods to determine the compositional, morphological, structural, electrical and mechanical properties of materials and surfaces. The core competences and analytical set-ups are collected in the Laboratory for Surface Diagnostics and Laboratory for Materials Characterization.
