DMS provides with a high-level infrastructure for characterization of structurally complex nanostructured materials including facilities for material synthesis. The unique combination of advanced synthesis and characterization methods in one place allows for development of nanostructured thin films with highly defined microstructure and properties, which are based on established fundamental processing-structure-property relations and thus suitable as reference samples for a variety of applications.
Methods
DMS operates a unique portfolio of facilities and methods for the design, synthesis, characterization and testing of advanced materials and materials systems, with strong emphasis on bridging length scales from atomistic to macroscopic. This includes top-down und bottom-up routes to synthesize nanostructured materials, a multitude of high-resolution methods for nanoscale characterization of microstructure and chemical composition, in-situ structural and functional characterization, also in harsh environments, and testing under near in-service conditions.
