Research in Materials Analysis Group divides into three fields of study. Investigation of material modification by high energetic ions and plasma is fundamental. This includes the irradiation of solid state matter with swift heavy ions at accelator facilities as well as the fabrication of DLC films and their modification by PIII&D.
The modification of polymer membranes by swift heavy ions enables the formation of nanochannels which are processed by ion track-etching. Those channels are suited for sensor applications due to their small size and extraordinary surface chemistry.
Aside from that, nanochannels can be exploited as templates for the synthesis of one-dimensional nanostructures such as nanowires, -tubes, -rods, and -networks. The fabricated nanostructures are characterised and tested regarding their applicability in various applications.
