Lab facilities

Selenita” Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) facility -This is our home-made MBE system for the growth of Se-based 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures. It is equipped with four independent evaporators that provide large versatility during the growth, thus enabling the synthesis of estoichiometrically complex 2D materials and heterostructures.

 

Victoria” Unisoku Ultra Low Temperature (300mK) STM/transport system with 11T magnet and electron transport capability. – We have recently purchased this system to Unisoku as our main tool for the characterization of 2D materials and nanostructures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Licancabur” Ambient Atomic Force Microscope (AFM): Our ambient AFM system enables the fast characterization of the morphology of our MBE-grown samples as well as more complex transport devices. Furthermore, this system is used to probe the mechanical, electric and magnetic properties of our thin films.
