Gas-Phase Synthesis of Nanoparticles
My system: The “Zeester”, “Starfish”, “Stella di Mare”:
The cluster source is combined with a thin film sputter system to fabricate nanoparticle thin film composites in contineous vacuum:
Metals, semiconductors and insulators can be used for the nanoparticles and thin films.
