Equipment & Facilities

Instrumentation

The Mannix group has moved into our freshly renovated lab space of approximately 1500 ft.2, divided into two sections in the Moore Building within the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM):

  • General Lab Space and CVD Lab: Space for sample storage and preparation, with an adjacent room housing space for growth systems.

  • Low Vibration Lab Space: Acoustically isolated lab housing cryogenic UHV STM with connected MBE chamber. Adjacent space houses sample preparation benches and liquid helium recycling system.

Additional facilities include a home-built, 100 mm wafer MOCVD furnace for transition metal dichalcogenides in the Allen building.
