Nanophysics Laboratory

Our Nanophysics Laboratory has two ultra-high vacuum chambers equipped with a suite of atomic resolution tools.

Recent investment has led to the acquisition of a Low Temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscope equipped with a state-of-the-art controller. This gives us world-class capabilities in experimental nanophysics and nanochemistry.
