Shared Facilities

Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technology, widely used for making commercial electronic devices, is now an appropriate technique to include in undergraduate courses and teacher training. The MRSEC is currently constructing the Yale/SCSU Teaching MBE Facility at Yale, which will be used to train students in the growth of epitaxial complex oxide materials using MBE. […]

This powerful new facility was established under the support of the W. M. Keck Foundation. Combinatorial laser molecular MBE in the Keck Laboratory is used to make thin films of complex magnetic oxides. Materials are synthesized by atomic layer-by-layer deposition processes. The RHEED (reflection of high energy electron diffraction) oscillation is used to monitor the […]
