Lab Instrumentation and Methods

The laboratory instrumentation consists of three ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers equipped with various surface-sensitive methods. Each system also provides techniques for preparation of well defined samples from pure single crystals to multicomponent materials with complex surface morphology.

Additionally, we have a vacuum system for optical spectroscopy in infrared range (FTIR), ambient pressure microreactor for reactivity measurements, apparatus for measurement of gas sensing properties and magnetron sputter deposition system.
