Who are we?

 

I. NANOTEQ is a Shared Instrumentation Facility. The Center provides access to a broad suite of nationally competitive capabilities in nano-sciences. These include:

​

1. IMAF Imaging and Materials Analysis Facility - HRTEM/STEM, Scanning probes (STM/VTSTM/AFM), CTEM, XPS, Auger, EDAX, PEELS

2. IMF Integrated Microfabrication Facility - class 1000 / ISO 6 cleanroom, e- beam, FIB and optical lithography, plasma processing, beam, sputter, thermal thin films, organics device lab. 

3. OTF Optical Testing Facility ~ Optical characterization from fast pump probe spectroscopy to CIE scaling and AM1.5g class A standards.

4. SPF Synthesis and Processing Facility ~ Materials processing and growth, thermal characterization, physical properties testing.

​

II. NANOTEQ is a hub of activities for various trans-disciplinary teams. The center supports team activities through community building efforts such as sponsoring visiting scientists each year, regularly arranging for external speakers and holding topical residential conferences.
