Micro-CVD system
The micro-CVD system from UNITS Tech features a dual-zone thermal stage and integrated optical microscope for in-situ growth and visualization of 2D materials
2D crystal manipulation system
Our lab has an integrated 2D material transfer platform by ONWAY Tech for fabricating van der Waals heterostructures, which includes a motorized micro-manipulator and microscope for precise 2D crystal handling
Low-temperature scanning probe microscope
Our lab employs low-temperature ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-STM) to investigate the atomic structures and electronic properties of 2D materials. We have an in-house STM (Omicron Polar), and our facility at Westlake University also includes a more powerful UHV cluster system that integrates low temperature STM with other characterization techniques
CVD growth systems
Our lab has multiple high-temperature tube furnaces for the CVD growth of 2D materials and heterostructures
Quartz Tube Vacuum Sealing system
Our lab utilizes a rotary quartz tube vacuum sealing system from BALAB, which allows for vacuum sealing down to 10-6 Pa using an oxyhydrogen flame torch. This vacuum sealing system allows us to synthesize various van der Waals crystals through chemical vapor transport (CVT)
