Miscellaneous

Important informations we are happy to share

2020-06-23 Dr. Agata Królikowska and M.Sc. Marcin Witkowski would like to express their gratitude to: International Centre for Interfacing Magnetism and Superconductivity with Topological Matter –MagTop, Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences for the fabrication of the samples to demonstrate spatial resolution of Raman spectrometer (for the Molecular Spectroscopy laboratory classes with the students). Metal coated arrays of silicone squares of various structural parameters were prepared by M.Sc. Jakub Polaczyński, Ph. D. student at the Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, in the Laboratory of Microscopy and Nanolithography, supervised by dr. Tomasz Wojciechowski.
