Scientific field

K. N. Eltsov’s Surface Phenomena Lab is active in present in Surface Chemistry, Local Probe Microscopy(SPM) and Surface Nanotechnology.

• Chemical state and local structure in process of halogenation of metal and semiconductor surfaces by means of Auger Electron Spectroscopy/Factor Analysis (AES/FA), Extended Energy Loss Fine Structure (EELFS), SPM, Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and other spectroscopic methods.
• R&D of Scanning Probe Microscopes for Ultra High Vacuum application
• Nanostructered surfaces obtained by halogenation and light (or electron) reduction of metal surfaces.

International experience
