STM Aarhus 150 HT SPM with ultimate atomic performance allows scientists to observe processes on surfaces at a scale of nanometers.

The miniaturized design, with the smallest mechanical loop between tip and surface, results in extreme stability unique to the STM market. Fast scan rates are achieved by high resonant frequencies of this scanner head design. The SPECS STM 150 Aarhus is equipped with a fast approach mechanism for full approach speeds of more than 1 mm/min. The tip may be cleaned by parallel ion beam etching, field emission, or short voltage pulses with no necessity for tip replacement as in other STMs.

With the STM Aarhus 150 HT SPM as the new STM Aarhus 150 standard SPECS introduces a modified suspension mechanism with permanent wire cooling to allow ultimate stability temperature control without sacrificing mechanical stability of the STM Aarhus 150 HT SPM.

Furthermore, SPECS developed a high temperature version of the STM Aarhus 150 HT SPM to allow imaging metals and semiconductors at elevated temperatures up to 1300k with STM tip by radiative heating during STM operation.

Thin film fabrication facilities

Oxide molecular-beam epitaxy system (OMBE, M600, DCA Instruments Oy, Finland) is a fabrication system for synthesizing ultraclean oxides thin-film materials with atomic-scale precision, in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) condition. The cassette load lock chamber allows for quick loading of the substrate into the system, before transferring into the growth chamber. The UHV chamber is equipped with 9 pumped effusion cells, which allows 9 types of high purity metallic sources to work together. The quality of the growth is monitored by a real-time reflection high energy electron diffraction system (RHEED) and a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM, SQM-160, INFICON, Switzerland) is applied to measure the absolute deposition rates. Electro-pneumatic linear shutters provide an accurate control of the layer-by-layer deposition process with the small fraction precision of an atomic monolayer. The modular design of the OMBE system allows for fast easy reload and metal source replacement, which provides greater flexibility when depositing high-quality complex oxides and their heterostructures at the atomic layer level, including high temperature superconductors.

The Gleeble 3500 is one of the most powerful and versatile materials processing facilities of its kind in the world, for investigating the thermal and mechanical behaviour of metals, alloys and metal-based composites (conducting materials).

The Gleeble庐 facility housed in this Laboratory was funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC)-LIEF scheme, with additional support from Universities of New South Wales, Sydney, Queensland, Monash and Deakin. A wide range of materials and metallurgical experiments and simulations are possible in the facility, including:

Physical simulation of major industrial processes such as casting, multi-pass hot rolling, extrusion, forging, roll bonding, hot isostatic pressing, continuous strip annealing, resistance welding etc.;

Systematic studies of ambient- and elevated-temperature material properties including tensile and compressive strength, ductility, formability, creep, and

Investigations of fundamental phenomena including solidification, recovery and recrystallization (static & dynamic), work hardening and flow softening, precipitation reactions, high temperature oxidation etc.

Further details about the general capabilities of the Gleeble facility and some interesting case studies are available on the manufacturer鈥檚 official website: www.gleeble.com

Due to the multi-functionality of the Gleeble facility, which is capable of carrying out numerous types of tests, our services range from a complete training program for both internal and external users, thereby enabling them to be independent use of the machine, through to full technical support. The latter requires highly trained staff to carry out a specific testing program, unless an extended program of work requires individual training. We also provide advice for costing of experiments for grant applications.
