Welcome to the page of resource center "Physical methods of surface investigation" (Saint Petersburg University Research park)!
The purpose of the Resource center (RC PMSI) is to carry out research work in an ultrahigh vacuum, dedicated to the study of surface nanostructures and composite materials, to the analysis of the local atomic structure, morphology, and the features of the electronic energy and spin structure. The main experimental methods implemented in the RC are: Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, as well as superhigh-vacuum tunneling and atomic force microscopy.
On this site you will find complete information about our equipment, methods of surface investigation and the results of the users of the RC.
