Facilities:
 

[The transfer line in the the SSL's main laboratory.]

 
  • Integrated Growth, Interfaces and Processing Laboratory:  The laboratory is constructed around a 42 ft linear sample transfer mechanism that connects 11 UHV systems used for surface preparation, film growth and surface analysis. 
  • Raman Spectroscopy and Photoluminescence Laboratory:  optical characterization techniques used to examine atomic bonding configurations and defects in thin film structures. Capabilities: Micro, Macro, Low temp. and UV
     
  • PEEM-FEL Laboratory:  Photoelectron emission microscopy of surfaces using the Duke FEL for UV excitation. A one of a kind facility with unmatched capabilities to explore dynamical processes on surfaces
     
  • Scanning Microscopy Laboratory:  Two ambient AFM systems and one UHV STM system
