Core Nanofabrication

Core Nanofabrication The Core Nanofabrication cleanrooms provide the ideal environment to produce high-quality devices. With an extensive range of equipment, they can support activities with a broad variety of materials including compound semiconductors, silicon, diamond and organic semiconductor materials from chips to small batches of wafers. The cleanrooms offer a full range of routine fabrication […]

SpinEcho

SpinEcho​ Brief description The SpinEcho is an atom beam line that uses He-3 to perform atom scattering experiments. The experiment is performed under high and ultra-high vacuum and involves scattering a polarised beam of helium (He-3) atoms off the sample. A custom sample transfer (compatible with MiniScat) is used for mounting samples within the scattering […]
