Physico-chemical effects in depth profiling of organic semiconductors KU Leuven
Organic semiconductor devices have received an enormous amount of research interest, leading to their successful commercialization. Blend and doped layers are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in organic electronic devices. In order to better understand the efficiency and reliability of these devices, there is a growing need for quantitative analysis of these layers. ToF-SIMS using cluster ion beams has routinely been employed to obtain ...
Depth profiling of radiologically contaminated concrete, using CT-scan images and Monte Carlo simulations Hasselt University
Buckminster fullerene ion gun for advanced chemical depth profiling of organic and polymer materials Ghent University
The proposed equipment is a Buckminster fullerene (C60) ion gun combined with an electronic cabinet in which the control electronics will be placed. The ion gun produces a 10 kV beam of C60 cluster ions which is being used to bombard soft materials. Upon impact with the sample, the C60 clusters release their energy in the near surface region providing a highly efficient sputtering process that exposes a subsurface layer with minimal chemical ...

In depth insight into the translatome using state-of-the-art proteomics and ribosome profiling, applications on different in vitro model systems. Ghent University
From a proteogenomic approach, bioinformatic tools will be developped to combine ribosome profiling and mass spectrometry results. These tools will secure exhaustive analysis of different translation features and controls. Experiments will be performed in cell lines and afterwards in embryoid and organoid bodies, as a proxy to in vivo tissue.
High lateral and depth resolution ion beam analysis of laterally confined nanostructures KU Leuven
Quantitative analysis of thin films and nanostructures is a cornerstone in the development of future nanoelectronic devices. Within standard Ion Beam Analysis, a high energy ion beam impinges on the sample whereby the intensity of the scattered particles and their energy contains information about the elements, their concentration and their depth distribution. The evolution on novel detector systems (multidetectors , magnetic sector with ...
Depth dependent study of exchange bias in Fe-FeO films. KU Leuven
Analytical Research in ADME profiling. KU Leuven
The integration of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) profiling into early drug discovery has been put forward as a strategy for reducing drug candidate attrition. Europe is challenged to develop novel ADME screening methodologies with increased efficiency and predictive power to profile the multitude of lead compounds currently being generated. The principal objective of this programme is to train a new generation of ...
