Prof. Dr. Hans Christian Hofsäss

Research Interests
My scientific work is in nuclear solid state physics, thin film physics and ion beam physics. My current research interests include (a) implanted impurities and defects in semiconductors (diamond, GaN); emission channeling studies of lattice sites and diffusion of impurities; PAC and PL studies of implantation defects. (b) Ion beam synthesis of materials; Nucleation and growth of diamondlike thin films; Ion-solid interaction. (c) New concepts in ion beam analysis (scattering-recoil coincidence spectroscopy, position sensitive detection in ion scattering spectroscopy).
