We investigate the properties of thin films synthesized using various Vapor Deposition and Sputtering techniques.

We combine material optics and development of ellipsometric methodology to analyse optical properties and nanostructures of bulk materials, thin films and their interfaces.

Our research focuses on the application and development of advanced electron microscopy techniques to study the structure and chemistry of materials at the highest attainable spatial resolution.

We aim at increasing the atomistic understanding of vapor phase deposition, ion-surface interactions, and phase transitions in advanced materials.

Conducting focused research aimed at understanding and controlling atomistic processes during synthesis of nanostructures and thin films.

The semiconductor shortage is becoming increasingly urgent. Linköping University conducts materials research in close collaboration with industry, with a view to increasing the semiconductor production rate in Europe.

Using a “chemical scissor”, thin materials can be tailored even at atom level. This is shown in a study published in Science. The results pave the way for new materials for use in future sustainable energy production, energy storage and electronics.

Several projects at Linköping University are to receive grants for the development of research infrastructure. The total amount is of the order of a hundred million Swedish crowns, and decades of work are now bearing fruit.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is often used to determine the chemical composition of materials. It is accepted as a standard method in materials science. Researchers at LiU, however, have shown that the method is often used erroneously.
