We are members of the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE), and Center for Excitonics, Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL). In addition to those shared resources, we maintain some additional facilities within our group.
Fabrication Laboratory:
The evaporator is capable of depositing gold, chromium, aluminum and a variety of other metals, as well as evaporable soft semiconductors. The system was built by Angstrom Engineering. A second evaporator capable of multi-component evaporations with an automatic masking system is used for multi-layer device stacks.

Additional equipment includes a micro-pipet automatic dispenser and Furnace tube.
Optical Characterization Laboratory:
The characterization laboratory contained in 26-440 contains a variety of optical and electrical test and measurement facilities including automated wavelength-resolved, angle-resolved, or time-resolved photocurrent detection, photoluminescence and photocurrent quantum yields, magnetic field-dependent photocurrent and photoluminescence detection, He cryostat for optical measurements or four micro-positioned electrical probes, and surface photovoltage detection.
