Professor Panitz discovered the field-adsorption phenomenon, and co-developed the Atom-Probe Field Ion Microscope. He is the inventor of the Imaging Atom-Probe mass spectrometer and the LIFE detector (a Liquid Field-Emission chemical sensor), both patented jointly with the United States Department of Energy. His research is concerned with imaging and analyzing surfaces and their adsorbates, and includes fundamental studies of adsorption, desorption, and diffusion phenomena at the vacuum-solid and liquid-solid interface; the binding of biological macromolecules to metals and semiconductors in aqueous environments; ion implantation in the near surface region of metallic solids; field-ionization, field-electron emission; flat panel field emission displays; field-desorption of organic species in high vacuum; electron tunneling in biological macromolecules; electrical breakdown phenomena in high vacuum, and liquid metal field-ion sources. Professor Panitz has developed a point projection, cryofixation technique for visualizing unstained organic and biological species on technologically interesting materials. He is assessing electron tunneling as a probe of molecular binding at the molecular level using PhotoFEEM analysis, a diagnostic technique developed in his laboratory.
