A variety of assistive technologies for materials deposition, including physical and chemical deposition techniques, such as RF magnetron sputtering, atomic layer deposition and thermal evaporation of Nano-engineered coatings and thin films. These are applicable across a broad range of industrial applications, such as optical coatings, plasmonic thin films, SERS sensors and large-area electronic devices.
Specialised laser processing facility for developing new materials or functionalising existing materials in controlled environments. Capable of investigating all the parameters of this multiparametric processing technique in the design, implementation and testing of materials for nano-structuring, texturing and functionalisation.
Part of the specialised material and surface modification capability utilising photonic processing in controlled environments. The interaction of light with materials is exploited using a suite of state-of-the-art optical metrology techniques including a unique IR Spectroscopic Ellipsometer that accurately measures the dielectric permittivity of materials in the spectral range of 1.7 – 40 microns.
