Stable microstructures are the fundament of devices in science and technology. The Central Scientific Facility Materials prepares metal, ceramic or semiconductor thin films by means of physical vapour deposition. Tailored microstructures are achieved by studying nucleation, film formation and evolution of the different material systems.
