An essential part of our daily research activities is the fabrication of van der Waals hybrid devices in an atmosphere-controlled environment (e.g. glovebox), and the designs and constructions of ultrafast optical and fast electronic instruments to measure our devices at low-temperature, low-vibration, superconducting vector magnetic field environments.

Here are some of the lab design layouts currently being renovated at SSC 320, 115, and 117, ready for experiments in summer 2023.

SSC 320 Ultrafast Optics lab with three independent measurement area integrated with Helium-free closed-cycle optical cryostat with superconducting vector magnets.
SSC 115 sample fabrication room with glovebox transfer tool and atomic force microscopy.

Examples of lab setups:

Ultrafast time-resolved Kerr rotation microscopy (built at Ohio State)
Scanning optical microscopy with home-made vector magnets (built at Ohio State)
Room-temperature Sagnac MOKE interferometry (built at Cornell)
Glovebox transfer tool for vdW heterostructure fabrication (built at Cornell)
An example of MoS2/graphene hybrid spin valve fabricated with transfer tool and e-beam lithography
