Extension of the ultra high vacuum measuring station in the Laboratory of Electron Spectroscopy and Functional Materials

The aim of the project is to expand the test bench, the base of which is an ultra-high vacuum system, consisting of the purchase of new modules, which will significantly increase measurement capabilities and expand the range of research. The existing workstation consists of four research and technology chambers, allowing for measurement by spectroscopy methods: photoemission – X-ray (XPS) and ultraviolet (UPS), quantum photoemission efficiency (pys) and thermal desorption (TDS), as well as deposition of gaseous phase materials. An X-ray monochrome and additional radiation-emitting anodes will be installed in the XPS system. This will increase the energy resolution of measurements and expand the range of available probe energy. The vacuum system will be accompanied by new chambers with a scanning microscope system that works with an electron microscope. The scanning microscope will be able to operate in many modes. This is a unique solution on a European scale.
