Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials

at Wake Forest University

Wake Forest University
welcomes you to our NANOTECH Center

Nanotechnology is the synthesis of tools and machines at the 10(-9) meter scale. Molecular Materials are materials that are designed and created through the aggregation and assembly of large molecular (nano) species - like an ordered composite. Together, these advances represent the greatest revolution in materials physics since the discovery of quantum mechanics.

NANOTECH is a Shared Instrumentation Facility of the Wake Forest University research community. Its core mission is to provide access to a broad suite of nationally competitive capabilities in...

1. Nanomaterials - synthesis and processing,

2. High resolution imaging and analytical characterization - HRTEM/STEM, STM/AFM, CTEM, XPS, Auger, EDAX, PEELS

3. Cleanroom fabrication - class 1000, ISO 6 - iline, 365nm optical lithography,

4. Fast optical characterization - ps to fs time resolution spectroscopy, laser based ARPES

NANOTECH also offers an extensive curriculum in the nano-sciences together with several outreach programs.

NANOTECH occupies a dedicated building located at 501 Deacon Blvd, in Winston-Salem NC, adjacent to the Reynolda Campus of WFU. It is open to all faculty, staff and students of WFU / Atrium-WFBMC.
