Research equipment

The research group Materials Physics at Karlstad University has the following experimental resources:

• VT-STM and AFM in ultra high vacuum (UHV), Omicron Nanotechnology
• Two AFM, Digital Instruments Multimode and Veeco Innova
• Transmission electron microscop, JEOL JEM-2100, 200 keV TEM/STEM (in collaboration with the department of materials and mechanical engineering)
• Access to scanning electron microscope Leo FEG-SEM ((in collaboration with the department of materials and mechanical engineering)
• Equipment for in-situ manipulation of nanostructures in TEM and SEM
• UHV-spectrometers for angular resolved photoemission, inverse photoemission and XPS
• Scanning-Auger-microscop, PHI 660
• Two evaporation systems
• Kelvin-probe-system
• Spin-coater
• Equipment for characterization of electronic components

The research group also uses experimental stations for photoemission and X-ray absorption at the synchrotron facility MAX-lab in Lund, approximately 6-8 weeks per year.
