Shared Facilities

Hybrid Molecular Design & Synthesis Laboratories include synthetic molecular materials design and synthesis facilities. These are molecules that have predicted structures and functional properties (e.g., photonics). The laboratories are located in Bagley 195 (Xia), Bagley 13B (Ginger) and Wilcox 249 & Roberts 209 (Jen).

The Integrated Microscopy Facility provides a variety of electron and optical microscopes for imaging small features and for microanalysis of the elemental composition of materials. The facility is operated by three expert managers who have many years of combined experience in advanced microscopy.
Instruments in this facility include:
Leica 440 SEM: 4.5 nm resolution at 30KV. […]

FUNCTION:
The facility is devoted to materials processing, crystal growth, device fabrication, and electronic & photonic materials. An extensive list of equipment is available in the Materials Processing and Crystal Growth Facility (MPCGF) of the Materials Research Center (MRC). The facility provides microfabrication tools for general use by the Northwestern community, government and industrial researchers. Various […]

The Crystal Growth shared experimental facility in the CMSE is a resource available to users within and outside of MIT community. We have optical floating-zone furnaces, top-seeded growth furnaces, 3-zone tube furnace, box furnaces, arc melting furnace and cutting/polishing equipments to satisfy the needs of crystal growth.
