Research on nanostructures, including fabrication and characterization
We fabricate nanostructures using chemical vapour deposition and combine vacuum-science with lasers and sensitive electronics characterization to study the fabricated devices toward applications in electronics, electron-beam technologies and energy conversion.
- Microfabrication
- Nanostructure growth
- Electronics testing
- Optical characterization
- Electron microscopy
- Vacuum (low / high / ultra-high) characterization
- Aerospace and satellites
- Automotive
- Clean technology
- Defence and security industries
- Energy (renewable and fossil)
- Information and communication technologies and media
- Manufacturing and processing
- Professional and technical services (including legal services, architecture, engineering)
