This event marks the launch of the Royce at the University of Cambridge Physical Vapour Deposition and Characterisation Facility – part of one of the UK-wide Henry Royce Institute open-access technology platforms. This facility includes equipment for device fabrication and characterisation which will be demonstrated during the event.
The talks, demonstrations and workshops will give an overview of the facility, based in the Department for Materials Science and Metallurgy, and its capabilities. It will also introduce the physical principles governing the diverse equipment and their applications. Attendees will be given the opportunity to see the the equipment in action and receive a handout covering the principles of each technique.
There will be also be information on the department’s Centre for Materials Physics, recent industrial and academic work, open access and Royce@Cambridge funding.
Equipment that will be demonstrated includes:
o AJA Sputtering System
o UHV Electron-beam evaporator
o Ar-ion miller
o AFM/MFM
o Electron-Beam lithography (LEO) equipment
o MPMS, PPMS (Quantum Design)
o Vibrating Sample Magnetometer
o Dual-Beam FIB (Zeiss)
o Cryo-Free Transport measurement Systems
o Other Associated WEMS Zeiss Equipment
o Cryo-probe station CRX-6.5K
o Optical Microscope (Zeiss)
The event has been sponsored by Royce@Cambridge, Zeiss and QD.
As spaces are limited for the event and evening reception please register your interest on Eventbrite. You will be contacted upon successful allocation of a place.
