Eleanor Campbell leads the "Atomic Physics" group in the Physics Dept at University of Gothenburg.
Her research interests include fundamental investigations of the stability and ionization mechanisms of fullerenes and other small nanoparticles in the gas phase using femtosecond laser excitation combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry and photoelectron imaging (together with Klavs Hansen); energetic cluster ion impact on surfaces where the dynamical processes occurring on impact are of interest as well as the possibility of making novel nanostructured materials (together with Vladimir Popok) and the growth, characterization and device applications of carbon nanotubes. Experimental studies of the fundamental mechanisms of carbon nanotube growth using chemical vapour deposition techniques in the presence of metallic nanoparticles are carried out in the platform-sponsored PhD project "Carbon nanotube nucleation and growth" in close collaboration with the theoretical PhD project on the same topic supervised by Kim Bolton, "Theoretical studies of Carbon Nanotube growth".
