Our group has labs on the second floor and basement level of the Chemistry building, which is located on the south side of the CSU campus. We study plasma processing and chemical vapor deposition using the following techniques:

• optical emission spectroscopy (OES)
• mass spectrometry (MS)
• laser-induced fluorescence (LIF)
• Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
• contact angle goniometry
• profilometry
• atomic force microscopy (AFM)
• scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
• x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)
• Auger electron spectroscopy (AES)
• spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE)

The sections listed below should help to give you an idea of how our labs are set up and what kinds of experiments we are able to do.

• plasma reactors
• in-lab sample analysis
• gas and gas-surface diagnostics
