Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) system

Research area

Creation of single and multilayer structure of thin films for the analysis of structural phase transitions and magnetic properties of various solid-state materials.

Equipment

TSST system: vacuum chamber with base pressure <10^-7 mbar, UV excimer laser Coherent Compex Pro 205F.

Features

• Different material deposition, such as SrTiO3, BaTiO3, La_1−xSr_xMnO3, and more.
• Variable temperature control (up to 950 ^OC).
• Deposition in the different ambient atmosphere (N₂, O₂, Ar).
• Laser fluence control by a Coherent laser energy sensor.
