Description:

The lab was inaugurated in 1996.

The current research interests of Prof. Rosenwaks group include:

Nanoscale electrical measurements using mainly Kelvin probe force microscopy, biological field effect Transistors, charge carrier dynamics and transport in semiconductors, image restoration in Kelvin probe microscopy, interfaces between photosynthetic proteins and semiconductors, photovoltaics. The research interests include Silicon Nanowires,  Solar Cells, Organic semiconductor devices and materials.

The lab currently hosts one postdoctoral fellow, 11 PhD and MSc students and a lab engineer.

Major equipment:

Ultra High Vacuum Variable Temperature Atomic Force /Scanning Tunneling Microsope System (VT AFM/STM, Omicron) with KPFM Module; Four different AFMs operating in nitrogen glove boxes; Surface Photo-Voltage Spectroscopy System; Time Resolved Photoluminescence System; Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope  and two Detection Sytems for the wavelength range of 400-1100nm.
