The Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel exists as a land university already since 1665. In physics famous scientists did research in Kiel like Heinrich Hertz and Max Planck (pioneers of radiation physics and quantum physics) or astrophysicists like Albrecht Unsöld. Also today the physics in Kiel is a living and internationally recognised department in whose institutes many update and attractive research directions are represented. In the working group plasma physics/plasma technology intensely applied research is pursued beside basic research (e.g., of complex plasmas). Including among other thinks experimental researchin the field of plasma wall interaction and to edge layer phenomena of process plasmas. For example the group measured the power influx from the plasma on the worked on substrates as an important parameter for the optimisation by etching and coating processes. In addition, the development and testing of technological plasma processes are in the foreground. In particular including the modification of micro particles and powders, but also the use of atmospheric pressure plasmas.
