FWF Project "ln-Situ Characterization of Oxide Thin Films during Growth"
Project details
“In-Situ Characterization of Oxide Thin Films during growth” is a project using beyond-state-of-the-art technologies to investigate functional thin films for energy application.
This 4.5 year projects combines a newly developed in-situ characterization technique at TU Wien that allows layer by layer electrochemical characterization of growing thin films with several other techniques, particularly high resolution transmission electron microscopy performed by our partners at the ESI in Leoben.
