Presentations:
Gammadata (Arnaud Zoubir HORIBA Scientific))

• Presentation of on the UiO Raman instrument, potential and flexibilities (possible upgrades included)
• Microscopy / Confocal / depth profiles / imaging?
• Applications
  - Surface studies in general
  - Oxide surfaces – can we see differences between different phases and modifications?
  - Silicon surfaces; solar silicon, thin layer (deposited) silicon, semiconductors etc)
  - Carbon: Graphite / graphine / nanotubes
• Spectroscopic Ellipseometri: Interesting method for study of thin films. May be discussed with Gammadata during lunch.

Azpect. (Mikael Winter & Martin Glimtoft)

• Presentation on the UiO laser excitation system, potential and flexibilities (possible upgrades included)
• Applications
  - Conventional application
  - Frequency tuning to near electronic transitions in biological molecules
  - Resonance Raman; Surface enhanced Raman, Tip Enhanced Raman: Combination of AFM and Raman – sensitivity increased to ”single molecule” studies (more likely to be presented by K-analys?)

K-analys (Lars Hälldahl)

• Raman combined with various other techniques
• AFM / Raman combination to provide sensitivity at “single molecule” level
