Former Group Members
Group founder Prof. Dr. Roland Weingärtner
Dr. Roland Weingärtner founded the Materials Science Group of the Physics Section at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) in 2005 in the frame work of a research project funded for 5 years by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) in collaboration with the Friedrich Alexander Universität (FAU). The DFG project in 2005 included the setup of a new laboratory, installing a RF-sputtering deposition system. This enabled the deposition and study of the light emission properties of amorphous wide-bandgap semiconductors SiC, SiN and AlN doped with rare earths (RE). During his leadership, the group has expanded its activities covering wider research topics which have been supported by different projects in recent years. In 2018, after 13 years of pioneering work in Peru, Dr. Weingärtner returned to Germany to continue his career. For both his professional and private future, the Materials Science Group wishes Dr. Weingärtner all the best and continued success.

Prof. Magali Karina Camargo León
Researcher in the area of materials science with knowledge of electrochemistry and science of colloids. Experience in synthesis of metallic coatings and composites by chemical and electrochemical methods, analysis and characterization of materials, colloidal dispersions as well as the study of corrosion in materials.

Lic. MSc. Liz Margarita Montañez
Synthesis and optical characterization of amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) thin films and related materials.
BSc. Wilson Aponte Huamantinco
Investigation of thermal treatments for thin films of SiC and AlN doped with Tb and deposited on different substrates.
Dr. Ing. Oliver Erlenbach
In 2005, Oliver Erlenbach student at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg came to the PUCP in order to perform his PhD in materials science, financed by the DAAD. This PhD has been carried out within the framework of cooperation with the PUCP and University of Erlangen. A major part of the scientific research for this PhD took place in Lima, Peru, where Oliver Erlenbach participated in establishing a new material research laboratory for the production of thin films using RF magnetron sputtering deposition in the framework of a DFG/BMZ project. In his PhD thesis, he focused on the optical characterization of lanthanide doped (SiC)1-x(AlN)x-films in particular.
MSc. Gonzalo Galvez
Setup and improvements of the trial rf- magnetron sputtering system. Preparation of (SiC)1-x(AlN)x thin films and their structural and optical characterization.
MSc. Katia Zegarra
Optical and vibrational properties of amorphous silicon nitrite thin films (a-SiN) grown by rf magnetron sputtering.
Jose Antonio Beccera
Effect of the oxidation on stability of amorphous silicon nitrite thin films (a-SiN).
MSc. Johan Llamoza
The spectra generated from thin films in the order of nanometers (200-500 nm) produce additional spectrum fringes that impede the analysis of samples, furthermore it produces fictitious transmittance greater than 100%. This work aims to mathematically describe these fringes, to implement the Hodrick-Prescott algorithm, which estimates the cyclical part of a data sequence, baseline data in our case. With the specter corrected estimate the number bonds of the sample, and percentage of crystallinity. Finally study the degradation of the samples.
MSc. Sandro Espinoza
Synthesis and characterization of hydrogenated aluminum nitride (AlN:H) thin films for photovoltaic applications.
