Chemical Vapor Deposition System

An Ultrasonic Spray Chemical Vapor Deposition with Remote Spark Plasma Generator for Ozone generation for ZnO, MgZnO, CuO growth and their heterostructures.

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) System

An AFM system for structural investigations. Our compact, tabletop AFM system has all the important features and benefits expected from a light lever AFM and includes everything required for high-resolution scanning. It has a passive vibration prevention system.

Sample Sizes: Up to 1” X 1” X 3/4” Standard Scanning Modes: Vibrating (Tapping), Non-Vibrating, Scanners: 50 x 50 x 17 µm, 15 x 15 x 7 µm, Video Optical Microscope: Zoom to 400X, 2 µm resolution.
