Who we are
The lab provides in-house deposition of supermirror coatings for neutron optical elements such as neutron guides, polarizers and focusing tools. We specialize in the development and production of these multilayer system with Ni/Ti up to m=6 and polarizing coatings up to m=4. In addition, we provide our expertise in multi- and single layer deposition to all PSI groups for instrumentation and sample preparation.
What we offer
The sputtering lab is equipped with two inline sputtering machines. We deposit metals, semi-conductors and insulators with an Ar plasma. Typical layer thicknesses range from 1 to 1000 nm.
