Advanced course on XPS data analysis and interpretation

We organize regular 2 and 2.5-day courses on XPS data evaluation and interpretation.

Read our nanoreview on XPS here. If you wish to have a PDF with vector graphics, look here.

LEEM Review

Here is our review of the analysis of self-assembled molecular layers on surfaces by LEEM/LEED.

​ProLEED Studio has been released!

​

Pavel developed a new software for the analysis of complex LEED patterns. After some time, during analysis of a tricky one, he said: "I love ProLEED. It surprises even me!"

See the accompanying paper:  P. Procházka, J. Čechal: J. Appl. Cryst. 57 (2024), 187.

A thesis summarizing our activities

         Here it is... enjoy!

DFPA

Dark-Field Pop Art. We are looking forward to Pavel's publication on dark-field LEEM analysis of molecular bilayers.

Nano-Octopuses

Sometimes it seems that our samples in vacuum chambers have been invaded by strange lifeforms. Octopuses in this case.

Even more complex self-assembled phase from our simple molecule

At some conditions, we can get a somewhat very puzzling structure made of our BDA molecule.
