Dr Marc Walker
In 2012, I took on responsibility for what is now the Photoemission RTPLink opens in a new window. My role includes managing the XPS, UPS, LEED and ARPES facilities on our Omicron and Kratos instruments, experimental scheduling and liaising with users. We work with a wide variety of different groups and companies, at Warwick and beyond, on a huge range of different projects. Please see the RTP's dedicated pagesLink opens in a new window for more information.
In addition to the photoemission work, I was also responsible for the group's low energy ion scattering chamber - more information at caiciss.co.ukLink opens in a new window .
My cv, publications and conference presentation lists are available to view.
Background
I have been a member of the Surface, Interface & Thin Films Group since starting my PhD studies in September 2002. In that time I have used the Warwick CAICISS systemLink opens in a new window to study a range of different material systems including metal-metal alloys, metal oxides and semiconductor surfaces.
In 2009 I was appointed as a Research Fellow on a new EPSRC grant entitled "Structural and electronic properties of InN surfaces and interfaces". This research programme began with various techniques, including CAICISS and XPS, being used to study different methods of preparing clean InN surfaces for characterisation in ultra-high vacuum conditions, before looking in to ways of developing InN and related materials for device applications.
In 2019 I was elected on to the Committee of the UK Surface Analysis ForumLink opens in a new window, a society for scientists from academia and industry with a common interest in the techniques and applications of surface analysis. It meets twice yearly, in January and July, to discuss the latest research and issues of interest to the surface analysis community and to exchange views on current trends.
Away from Warwick.....
I am a keen golfer and am a member at Atherstone Golf Club, playing off a single figure handicap. I currently run the Avon LeagueLink opens in a new window, played between 11 clubs in the Midlands. In 2010 I had the tremendous honour of being Club Captain at my old club and was Captain of the Avon League team there for three and a half years.
I am also a keen traveller with the USA and Portugal being my favourite destinations. I follow pretty much every major sport (and some obscure ones too!).
