Our main facilities
Vacuum Chamber & Cryostat
This full-custom set-up is the central tool for performing experiments on nanomechanical resonators. Allow controlling the environment of the mechanical resonator down to a pressure of 10-7 mbar and fairly low temperatures.
Electronics
All the necessary tools to caracterize, electrically, the mechanical resonator properties Low-noise electronics (pre-amplifier, DC & RF sources, Lock-In amplifier...) to allow measuring tiny signals
Probe station
A pre-characterization tool to measure the performances of nanotubes devices
Samples storage
A good sample can last forever. If stored properly 🙂
External (shared) facilities
We also benefit from the facilities of our host institutions:
– CVD oven (to grow carbon nanotubes)
– Clean room (to prepare samples)
– Chemistry lab
– Electron microscopy plateform
– Raman spectroscopy
