Scanning Probe Microscopy
Variable Temperature UHV Scanning Probe Microscope AFM/STM (RHK UHV-3500 )
The microscope is equipped with e-beam evaporation system, RGA, and other auxiliary tools that facilitate sample preparation and control under UHV environment. The system is installed in an STC-50 rated acoustic chamber (not shown on the picture).

Ultrafast Electron Diffraction
Time-resolved variable-temperature pump-probe electron diffraction set-up with 500 fs time resolution and 100 fs laser system to provide the pump pulse. The system can achieve a sample temperature as low as 128 K, and the electron beam runs at 80 keV. The pump wavelength can be 800 or 400 nm.
Single Crystal Synthesis
Gradient furnaces are used to perform chemical vapor transport growth of single crystals.
