DESCRIPTION
PECS is an apparatus to easily produce thin films and coatings on specimens. Several materials are available (C, Ag, Au/Pd, Pt, Cr, Ni). Typical deposition rate, which is measured in situ by quartz microbalance is from 0.2 to 1 Å/s. The deposition is stopped automatically at the set thickness. The sample can be rotated and rocked during deposition. An Ar+ etching gun is also present in the same system, with energy 1-10 KeV.
ACCESS
The use of the instrument requires the presence of an experienced operator. Access is allowed for external users (compatibly with internal use) which are experienced in the use of the instrument. Support can be provided at the beginning.
