Plasma Surface Interactions

The FOM Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen is the national home base for fusion research and exploits the free electron infrared laser FELIX/Felice, an international users facility. Also advanced multilayer optics for extreme ultraviolet radiation are developed for the computer chip industry.

not used

The GUTHz department operates the international infrared user facility FELIX/FELICE and utilizes it to study gas-phase complex (bio)molecules, ions and clusters via 'Action Spectroscopy'.

not used

The nanolayer Surface and Interface Physics department (nSI) addresses topics in surface science, and in thin film and multilayer physics, including the numerous interdependencies between these areas.
