Latest news

CVD reactor up and running

Over the last week, we finished the construction on our new CVD reactor by placing a long awaited Quartz tube in the tube furnace. The tube has been modified at LSP quartz and contains a sample transfer system completely constructed in quartz! Experiments on the growth of silicon nanowires can now finally commence.

New equipment: optical profilometer

Very recently, we acquired a new piece of equipment: a Brüker Veeco NT9080 optical profilometer. More information on this equipment can be found here.

Website overhaul

The website of our group has been completely revamped. Although the structure of the site remained, there are a lot of changes under the hood which make the site easier to maintain and update.

CoCooN group members can also make an account. This will enable them to add content to the site and to access extra features.
