Nano- and Microprocessing Laboratory
Besides fundamental or exploratory research, our group has a strong intention to find applications for our research results as well as to work on application-oriented problems. As a result, we have cooperations with different partners both from industry and academia in order to utilize our expertise and laboratory infrastructure to solve various application-driven problems. In addition to bilateral research cooperations, we are pleased to consider research, development and innovation inquiries as well. The following is a brief description of our main laboratory infrastructure.

In this laboratory we employ nanoparticle generators based on electrical discharges (spark and arc) for producing single- and multicomponent nanoparticles in the gas phase. In addition to the generation, characterization and application of nanoparticles we also focus on the investigation of their formation mechanism mainly via optical emission spectroscopic methods.
