Welcome to the ESCA group

Our group is headed by Prof.Dr. Peter Oelhafen. The main research interests include general surface physics, determination of the electronic structure of condensed matter, deposition and characterization of metal nanoparticles and thin film technology.

Our experimental methods include

• photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS, XPS, time resolved photoelectron spectroscopy on laser excited sample surfaces)
• optical characterization methods (Raman, FTIR, Ellipsometry, UV-Vis Spectroscopy)
• thin film deposition by various plasma assisted preparation techniques (PACVD, MPACVD, PVD)
• Carbon nanotube growth by CVD and Microwave plasma
• Time-of-Flight measurements
