Equipment

The Nano-Physics Lab holds a modern and complete set of surface-sensitive techniques and instrumentations, combined in a variety of multi-technique ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) setups. With our complete combination of experimental set-ups it is possible to visualize the interior of a molecule, determine how this molecule interacts with other molecules, study the massive formation of supramolecular structures and finally synthesized with atomic precision new devices.

HIGH RESOLUTION ANGLE RESOLVED and X-ray micro-focus PHOTOEMISSION system

equipped with an ultra-high resolution Angle Resolved an µFocus Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES+µXPS) system combined with a variable temperature atomic-resolved microscopy (Scanning Tunnel Microscope, VT-STM) and Low energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) . These two techniques can be used either jointly or separately. The ARPES instrument can deal with samples at low temperature (30K).

Surface chemistry characterization system

equipped with X Ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (XPS), Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS), Atomic and Scanning Tunnel Microscope (STM) and Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) for surface characterization. Moreover, sample growth can be done, in-situ using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), Molecular layer deposition (MLD), Atomic Layer Injection (ALI), and a connected Electrochemical cell (EC)

Surface magnetism system

hosts equipment for surface characterisation of samples by means of a home-made Magneto Optic Kerr Effect (MOKE, 20-800 K, 0.1 Tesla), Scanning Tunnel Microscope (STM) and a Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED)
