title: Laser deposition of advanced functional materials
reg no: ETF6010
project type: Estonian Science Foundation research grant
subject: 1.3. Physics
2.2. Materials Science
status: accepted
institution: TU Faculty of Physics and Chemistry
head of project: Raivo Jaaniso
duration: 01.01.2004 - 31.12.2006
description: This interdisciplinary project focuses on developing and exploiting the unique benefits of pulsed laser deposition techniques (PLD, MALDI) in the development and research of the following materials:
Nanostructured materials of complex composition for mixed metal oxide semiconductor sensors of toxic and flammable gases
Dye-doped polymer films for oxygen and dissolved oxygen sensors
Metal-doped diamond like carbon thin and ultrathin films for optical (visible and x-ray) and electrochemical applications

Different structural and functional characterisation methods will be used (AFM, STM, XRD, optical spectroscopy).

Relevant technical and methodical problems of deposition and in-situ monitoring will also be addressed.
