Work tasks
The Division of Synchrotron Radiation Research and the MAX IV Laboratory collaborate within a number of different scientific areas, including the development of the MAX IV beamlines for ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) SPECIES and HIPPIE. During recent years we have been developing a research project that aims at using APXPS to develop a true understanding of the surface physical and surface chemical processes of atomic layer deposition (ALD). Today, ALD is one of the prime methods for thin film growth in several technological areas. The combination of APXPS and ALD research is carried out at the SPECIES and HIPPIE beamlines, but also at other synchrotron radiation facilities and in collaboration with both ALD, spectroscopy and theory experts. SPECIES and HIPPIE are used for experiment to answer question within many different scientific fields, including research into catalysis, nanomaterials, aerosols, batteries, fuel cells and liquids.
