Babak Bakhit

Principal Research Engineer

My research is focused on the design and growth of novel multifunctional thin films with complex nanostructures by magnetron sputtering using synchronized ion-irradiation.

Presentation

I am a materials scientist who is interested in synthesizing multifunctional thin films with tunable, complex nanostructures for a wide range of applications.

My research interests are currently focused on the design and development of various thin solid films by magnetron sputtering using synchronized ion-irradiation to control their composition, crystal orientation, and nanostructure. Advanced characterization tools such as (S)TEM, EDX, EELS, FIB, XPS, ERDA, RBS, XRD, and SEM are extensively used in my research. I am active in using ion beam analysis techniques as modern analytical tools for probing the elemental depth profiles and compositions.
