Electron spectroscopy laboratory (P. Jiříček)

The properties of the solid surfaces are investigated by electron spectroscopy methods at Electron spectroscopy laboratory (ESL). The laboratory is equipped with two spectrometers. The ADES 400 (Angular distribution electron spectrometer) photoelectron spectrometer (VG Scientific) was bought in 1980 (Fig. 1). The second one, AXIS Supra (Fig. 2), was delivered by Kratos Analytical Ltd. at the end of 2014.

Laboratory of diamond thin films and carbon nanostructures (A. Kromka)

Core facilities of Laboratory of diamond thin films and carbon nanostructures consist of two unique microwave deposition systems Aixtron P6 and Roth & Rau AK 400. Both deposition systems represent a microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. At present time, the system Aixtron P6 is routinely used for growth of nanocrystalline diamond thin films (NCD) (Fig. 1).
