Services:
In case you want to prepare any sample, indicate the requirements. All systems require the presence of the contact person.
Equipment:

Melt Spinner
Laboratory scale system for max. 10 g per run. The system has a solid copper spinning wheel of 200 mm Ø, can go down to 10-5 mbar and includes an infrared quotient pyrometer and atomatic crucible positioning system.
Edmund-Buehler/ Melt Spinner SC 2018

Turbomolecular pumped coater
Metal sputtering or carbon evaporation with vacuum value down to 5 x 10-5 mbar. Fine grain sputtering for advanced high resolution SEM applications. Actual targets Cr and Au. Thick film capabilities up to 60 minutes sputtering time without breaking vacuum.
