LFFS – Thin Films an Surfaces Laboratory
Description: This experimental physics laboratory is dedicated to the study of thin film growth, as well as of their properties, including structural, electrical, magnetic, and optical ones. Research is also conducted on surface-adsorbed organic systems.
Coordinators: Prof. PhD. André Avelino Pasa and Alexandre Da Cas Viegas.
Concentration Area: Condensed Matter Physics and Statistical Mechanics
Multiuser X-Ray Diffraction Laboratory
Description: The X-Ray Diffraction Laboratory (LDRX) was designed by a group of professors/researchers from the UFSC School of Physical Sciences and Mathematics (CFM) as a multiuser laboratory, within a project submitted to the Brazilian Funding Agency for Studies and Projects (Finep) in 2005. In this project, plans were made for the assembly of a computer cluster, for improvements in the Astronomic Instrumentation and Remote Observation Laboratory, and for the construction of a 500 m2 building to house the new research infrastructure.
Coordinator: Prof. PhD. Valderes Drago
Concentration Area: Condensed Matter Physics and Statistical Mechanics
LabSiN- Nanostructured Systems Laboratory
