Methoden / Experimental Techniques

• atomic force microscopy and scanning-force microscopy (non-contact and tapping mode)
• optical microscopy (video system, fluorescence, confocal, phase contrast etc.)
• x-ray reflectometry (thin film characterization)
• rotating anode based x-ray scattering (SAXS, WAXS)
• grazing incidence small-angle x-ray and neutron scattering (GISAXS and GISANS) - diffuse x-ray and neutron scattering
• optical spectroscopy (UVVis, Raman, Brillouin)
• solar simulation test system
• chemical surface preparation lab (including spin coater etc)
• contact angle measurements (dynamic, video system)
• imaging ellipsometry
• infra-red spectroscopy
• several other techniques are available upon request
