Rafal E. Dunin-Borkowski

Rafal Edward Dunin-Borkowski (Londra, 3 agosto 1969) è un fisico britannico.

Specializzatosi nella branca della fisica sperimentale, è attualmente direttore dell'Institute for Microstructure Research (PGI-5) e del centro di microscopia e spettroscopia elettronica (ER-C) Ernst Ruska nel Forschungszentrum Jülich e professore di fisica sperimentale all'Università RWTH di Aquisgrana.

Formazione[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Rafal Dunin-Borkowski ha studiato all'Università di Cambridge, dove ha conseguito un dottorato di ricerca nel 1994 per la sua ricerca sui materiali semiconduttori.

Ricerca[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

La sua ricerca prevede lo sviluppo di tecniche quantitative nella microscopia elettronica e si è recentemente focalizzato sull'uso dell'olografia elettronica fuori asse per studiare i campi magnetici ed elettrostatici in materiali sulla nanoscala, su film sottili e dispositivi. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6] ^[7] ^[8] ^[9] ^[10] ^[11] ^[12] ^[13]
