Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Members of the Division conduct extensive research in the field of surface physics. It concerns, in particular, the phenomena associated with adsorption and occurring in thin film systems (nucleation and growth of crystals, evolution of structures under the influence of varying temperature (including surface diffusion, intercalation, faceting, segregation, thermal desorption, changes in surface reconstruction)) and determining structural, electronic, and physicochemical properties of solid surfaces at the nanometer and sub-nanometer scale. Emission properties of produced systems are also studied. In the perspective of practical applications, methodologies are also being developed for producing thin-film systems with specific physicochemical properties.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

The main experimental techniques used in the division are scanning tunelling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS); in collaboration with other divisions of the Institute of Experimental Physics and third parties, domestic (among others the SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre) and foreign, complementary techniques are also used. The Division also conducts numerical study of optical phenomena in structures smaller than the wavelength of light; optical particle accelerators and new radiation sources based on such accelerators are simulated. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
