Christian Doppler Labor for microscopic and spectroscopic material characterization (CDL-MS-MACH)

The research activities of the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Microscopic and Spectroscopic Material Characterisation (CDL-MS-MACH) are dedicated to the development and application of novel, advanced characterisation methods which are even not yet, or not readily available to date, in order to clarify open issues related to the physical and chemical properties of materials, to shed light on the underlying (surface) processes and elucidate specific points with respect to the applied research topics of the industrial partner institutions of CDL-MS-MACH, voestalpine Stahl HmbH and EV Group E. Thallner GmbH. At the same time, established analytical tools, ranging from transmission electron microscopy over spectroscopic ellipsometry to photoelectron spectroscopy are used in a complementary way to validate the newly developed methods as well as to systematically contribute to a better understanding of the structure and the physical/chemical processes in the materials systems of the industrial partners.
