Preparation and analysis of the surfaces and interfaces of 2D materials (FWF project number: 10.55776/DOC142)

The Doctoral School  "Unravelling Advanced 2D Materials (TU-D)", under the direction of Florian Libisch,, opens an external URL in a new window has set itself the task of training the next generation of scientists in the field of 2D materials at the future state of the art. Through the collaboration of the world-class expertise available at TU Wien, including the Analytical Instrumentation Center, a doctoral program has been established, in which Francesco Laudani, opens an external URL in a new window is researching a sub-project. Francesco has been working at the AIC since October 2023 and is working on the surface and interface analysis of MoS2.

3DNanoSIMS - 3-dimensional Nanoanalytics of high-performance materials by means of time-of-flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (FFG project number: 902876)

The AIC will be enhanced by a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (TOF-SIMS) as the 3DNanoSIMS project. The instrument will be integrated into the ELSA laboratory and will be accessible to internal and external users. The new system provides a better understanding of high-performance materials that are being developed for various future technologies with the goal of sustainability.

ELSA - Electrochemical surface and interface analysis cluster (FFG project number: 884672)

TU Wien has joined forces with the CEST, opens an external URL in a new window Competence Centre for Electrochemical (EC) Surface Technology to establish a unique Electrochemical Surface and Interface Analysis Cluster (ELSA). Two complementary high-resolution ultra-high vacuum spectrometers will bridge the gap between basic and application-oriented research.
