The Department of Physics at the University of Jyväskylä undertakes research and teaching at the highest international level on nuclear and accelerator based physics, materials physics and high energy physics. The department hosts The Accelerator Laboratory and The Low Temperature Quantum Phenomena and Devices Centre, which are both recognised as national centres of excellence.
The associated Nanoscience Center (NSC) is an eminent research collaboration spanning the departments of physics, chemistry, and biological and environmental science. It houses 15 professors and nearly 150 researchers, engaged in cross-disciplinary work, which enables integrated research ranging from fundamental theory to commercial solutions.
Network Role: The Nanoscience Center houses one of only two Zeiss Orion NanoFab helium ion microscopy (HIM) systems in the Nordic Countries. The HIM includes a neon beam option and a Raith Elphy pattern generator. It is located in the NSC cleanroom together with e-beam lithography and 3D lithography systems. The NSC and the associated departments provide a variety of supporting techniques including AFM, Raman, SEM/EDX, XRD, XRR, as well as electrical characterisation techniques. The research group in ion beam materials physics uses a 1.7 MV Pelletron accelerator as its main research tool. The group has extensive experience in building detectors and developing ion beam related techniques both experimentally and computationally. Moreover, the group has expertise in, and equipment for, atomic layer deposition (ALD), which allows the preparation of dedicated samples for the PicoFIB network.
