Roeland Schelfhout visits research group applied plasma physics
Being part of the Cod-to-Doc program in the SFB-TR 87, Vincent Layes from the research group applied plasma physics visited the research group of Prof. Depla from the Ghent University in September 2015. Now the PhD student from Ghent University, Roeland Schelfhout, came to work together with Vincent Layes at the RUB from June 19th, until June 30th, 2017. He had a seminar talk about "The reactive sputtering process from a target point of view" on June 29th, 2017.
The scientific goal of both PhD canditates for this time is "Thorough XPS investigation of the poisoning evolution along the racetrack for an aluminum target, sputtered in an argon/oxygen atmosphere in both standard DC sputtering as well as in HiPIMS."

Dr. Andrew Fletcher
Dr. Andrew Fletcher from the Newcastle University, UK, stayed at the research group for Astronomy of Prof. Dettmar for four weeks. He started his visit on April 18th and left at May 15th, 2017. In this time he collaborated with the people from Bochum on magnetic fields.
A highlight of his stay was the seminar talk with the title "Magnetic field in the multi-phase interstellar medium" on May 4th, 2017.
Abstract: I will review what is known about the general properties of magnetic fields in the diffuse interstellar medium. New results will then be presented, addressing questions such as:
is the mean, large-scale, magnetic field preferentially connected to a particular phase of the ISM? what effect does the generation of the mean-field have on ISM structure? what are the space and time correlations of random fluctuations in the ISM? how are these correlation scales related to observables?

Dr. Ondrej Cibulka and PhD student Martin Müller visited Prof. Jan Benedikt
Dr. Ondrej Cibulka and PhD student Martin Müller (see photograph with Kerstin Sgonina together with an atmospheric plasma source for nanoparticle generation) came in March from the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague to visit the group Coupled Plasma-Solid State Systems of Prof. Jan Benedikt. Their stay was organized in Frame of DAAD exchange Program "Critical evaluation of optical gain in different types of Si nanocrystals for future CMOS technology". The fruitful cooperation resulted already in four peer-review articles. The reciprocal visit of Mrs. Sgonina and Prof. Benedikt in Prague is planed for April.
