  • low temperature cryostats for optical and electrical transport
  • measurements
  • electromagnet to 2T
  • superconducting magnets to 8T
  • wide spectrum of optical spectroscopy equipment
    • Ar, Ti-sapphire, N lasers
    • double and single spectrometers
    • dedicated photoconductivity setup
    • ns time resolved spectroscopy
    • CCD and photomultiplier detectors
  • optical lithography
  • electron beam lithography
  • ultra high vacuum cluster deposition
  • cluster mass selection
  • high vacuum cluster deposition
  • high vacuum electron diffraction apparatus
  • molecular beam epitaxy
  • evaporators / thin film deposition
