Ultra high vacuum deposition of atomic clusters
Until July 2003 we have performed all cluster deposition work in a modified high vacuum apparatus originally design for study of the Structure of atomic clusters.
We have now commisioned a new ultra high vacuum (UHV) cluster deposition system with the following features
- base pressures ~10-10 torr
- cluster size selection
- cryogenic deposition
- in-situ electrical measurements
