EQUIPMENTS
- Two Scanning Force Microscopes working in controlled atmosphere and different operation modes like SFM, FFM, and C-SFM.
- Near-field Scanning Optical Microscope (NSOM) for spectroscopy ( MATGAS).
- High resolution spectrometer with confocal microscope for micro-Raman and PL (MATGAS).
- Diamond anvil cell for spectroscopic studies at high hydrostatic pressures and variable temperatures.
- Spectroscopic ellipsometry (IR-VIS-UV).
- Molecular-beam epitaxy facility for type IV semiconductors (ICMAB service).
RESEARCH LINES
We are experimental teams in charge of several Labs developing work in different research lines:
- Surface crystallography and surface dynamics.
- Surface modification (functionalization and manipulation) and nanotribology.
- Optical spectroscopy applications (Micro-Raman, Spectroscopic Ellipsometry, Spectroscopy at high hydrostatic pressures, Photoluminescence)
- Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM)
- Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs): preparation and characterization.
- Molecular-beam epitaxy of Si-based nanostructures (using Si, Ge, C)
- Crystal growth mechanisms.
- Organic semiconductors.
- Electron transport, electronic and optoelectronic properties.
