Scientist (f/m/d) Plasma Diagnostics

Our institute ranks among the largest and most modern institutions in the field of low-temperature plasmas worldwide. In an international working environment, we conduct socially relevant research within our core areas Materials & Energy, Environment & Bioeconomy and Hygiene & Health. Currently the INP employs about 200 scientists and staff at three locations (Greifswald, Rostock and Karlsburg).

Ihre Aufgaben

• to be involved in the development and the establishment of a plasma test setup allowing in situ VUV reflectometry on metallic surfaces which are interacting with a hydrogen plasma at low pressure;

• to be responsible for the operation of the plasma test setup and the VUV reflectometry setup;

• to apply diagnostics for the characterization of the plasma, such as a retarded field energy analyzer, a Langmuir probe, a heat flux sensor and an OES spectrometer;

• to support investigations to elucidate the effects of the hydrogen plasma on metallic surfaces in situ using a quartz crystal microbalance, a XPS system and an ellipsometer;

• to characterise different plasma sources using the setup with the aim to achieve the best reduction efficiency of a metallic surface.
