Nanotechnology
is focused on the engineering and the physical properties of small
structures sized 1-100 nm. Techniques that have sensitivities at a
scale of 0.1 nm to 100 nm are required to study and create these small
structures. Different methods of electron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS and
AES) have a sensitivity in the range of 1-10 nm and are therefore key
techniques in nanoscience.Thanks to our high level of expertise in
electron optics and electronics we can offer electron spectrometers
with the highest resolution and transmission possible.
Two types of electron spectrometers are available at SPECS:
- The hemispherical energy analyzer PHOIBOS
- The high resolution EELS spectrometer Delta 0.5 .
New
approaches and technical solutions are the cause for the unparalleled
success story of our PHOIBOS analyzer series. Since its launch in 2004
the PHOIBOS has been sold to 150 laboratories throughout the world with
a steadily rising demand. An extensive list of scientific publications
witnesses the impressive results that researchers achieve with this
analyzer. The PHOIBOS is the leading analyzer worldwide regarding
energy resolution, transmission and versatility.
Also with
its high resolution Electron Energy Loss Spectrometer Delta 0.5,
designed by Prof. Harald Ibach, Institut für Grenzflächenforschung, KFA
Jülich, SPECS is at the forefront of technology. With its special
design the Delta 0.5 achieves an ultimate resolution of 0.5 meV.
