Facilities
Novel techniques and analysis are required to explore new science. We build most of our facilities to have the extra degree of freedom to tackle scientific problems.
We have three ultra-high vacuum (UHV) home-built fabrication systems and various characterization systems. In addition, we frequently use facilities from ASU nanFab and LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid State Science.
​
Fabrication systems
- Fab1: UHV sputtering system
- Fab2: High temeprature sputtering and ion milling system
- Fab3: UHV molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)
- PostTreat1: Vacuum glovebox for field or reactive annealing
Characterization systems
- Andreev reflection spectroscopy (ARS)
- Magnetotranport system (MTS)
- Magnetic probe station (MPS)
- Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM)
