Summary
The programme is based on two groups of functional ceramics: ion-conductive ceramics, which can be applied, for instance, in fuel cells and gas sensors, and ferro-electric perovskites, which can be applied in such areas as computer processing and storage. In both groups, efforts are concentrated on phenomena in thin films, on surfaces and in interfaces. Included in the programme is a combination of expertise in thin film synthesis, surface analysis, electron spectroscopy, structure determination and laser-based femtosecond spectroscopy with theoretical modelling and calculations.
