Expertise

Thin Metal Oxide Films Chemical Surface Modification Functionalized Biomaterials Polymers

Mission

The application of surface analysis methods to problems of materials science and engineering is being developed. Methods available at LMCH, some with imaging capabilities, include Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), Scanning Auger Microscopy (SAM), X-ray induced Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS, ESCA), and Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS). Quantitative in-depth analysis with and without sputtering and computer based methods for the characterization of organic materials by TOF-SIMS are of special interest. Applications include the characterization of thin oxide films (1-10 nanometers) on metals and alloys, the study of adsorption phenomena of inhibitors and additives, the analysis of surface modified structural polymers and of biomaterials. Chemical surface modification of materials is performed to obtain specific functional properties. LMCH provides also service in surface analysis for external laboratories.

Biographie Publications Enseignement et PhD

D'origine allemande, H.J. Mathieu est né à Dortmund en 1942. Il est citoyen Suisse de Eschenbach/St. Gall. Après sa maturité latine, il poursuit ses études à l'Université de Tübingen et à l'Ecole Polytechnique de Karlsruhe où il obtient, en 1969, son diplôme de physicien. Il devient assistant en chimie-physique et obtient son doctorat de chimie à l'Université de Dortmund en 1971.
Entre 1971-73 il poursuit ses recherches à l'Université de Californie au Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
En 1974 il rejoint l'EPFL et assume la responsabilité du groupe d'analyse des surfaces. Il reçoit en 1976 le prix de l'Association Suisse pour l'Essai des Matériaux. Nommé Privat-Docent à l'EPFL en 1982, le Conseil des Ecoles Polytechniques Fédérales lui a attribué le titre de professeur en 1994.
Ses axes de recherche portent sur l'analyse des surfaces et couches minces des matériaux solides et des biomatériaux. Le prof. H. J. Mathieu était membre de la IUVSTA, président du comité directeur (steering committee) de l'ECASIA et président du GSSI/SAOG (Groupe Suisse Surfaces et Interfaces). Il est auteur de plus que 200 publications scientifiques.
