Recent developments in the field of nanomaterials synthesis, functionalisation and processing fostered the dynamic development of optical, electrical and mechanical devices. In this context, the understanding of the complex relationship composition-structure-properties will enable the design of devices with the intended performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulsed Laser Deposition System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research focuses on thelaser processing functional materials based on thin film and nanostructures by means of PLD pulsed  deposition (PLD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

InVia confocal Raman microscope Renishaw<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high resolution Raman microscope equipped with two laser lines (532 nm and 785 nm, respectively) and a Leica DM2500 microscope allows line scans, area mapping and volume scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultra-high Resolution Scanning Electron Microscope Hitachi SU8010<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitachi SU8010 cFE-SEM is used for high resolution Imaging (SE resolution 1.3 nm at landing voltage 1.0 V) with magnification up to 800 000X. The microscope is equipped with an Oxford EDXS unit capable to determine elements down to Be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horizontal Dilatometer\/DTA  L75 PT Linseis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It allows for the evaluation of thermal behaviour for a wide variety of samples. Measurements can be performed under vacuum, as well as under oxidizing and reducing atmospheres.  The following physical properties can be determined: CTE, sintering temperature, softening point, decomposition temperature, glass transition temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X-Ray Diffraction System SmartLab RIGAKU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high resolution XRDsystem equipped with an  AntonPaar HTK 2000N high temperature chamber is featured by a great variety of optical components.  This system allows for phase identification and texture analysis. ICDD PDF4\/Organics and ICSD databases are available to confirm the phase identification.hical priorities<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
