PLD deposition system: UHV, in-situ RHEED, IR laser heating

Two selected progressive deposition technologies, equipped with state-of-the-art in-situ characterization and control:PLD oriented mainly towards oxide nanostructures (e.g., cuprate/manganite superlattices) and PECVD oriented mainly towards carbon nanostructures.
