Low temperature tuning fork STM/AFM

Low-temperature STM/AFM microscope ( 4.5 K) based on a tuning fork sensor in the qPlus configuration is employed to characterize molecular assemblies down to the atomic scale using tunneling spectroscopy and high-resolution AFM imaging with CO-terminated tips.

pendulum

University of Basel, 3.05a

Dissipation spectroscopy

The low-temperature (4.5 K) pendulum atomic force microscope equipped with a 7 T vertical magnet enables the detection of the tiniest tip-sample interaction forces as well as nanoscale dissipation processes of only few aW.

afm

University of Basel, 3.03

Low temperature atomic force microscope

The low temperature atomic force microscope is dedicated to AFM topographic measurements, force spectroscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) at 4 K with single-electron sensitivity.

Joule-Thomson microscope

The low temperature Joule-Thomson microscope has great stability for STM and AFM operations at 1K under a magnetic field of 2.5 T and allows tunneling spectroscopy of superconducting gaps and Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states with µeV spectral resolution down to the atomic scale.

transport

University of Basel, FG Zumbuhl

MilliKelvin transport measurements

MilliKelvin cryostat from the Zumbühl group for low-temperature transport measurements. Temperatures in the sub-milli-Kelvin range can be reached to measure quantum dot devices or Josephson junctions.

chem

University of Bern

Synthesis of molecular quantum systems

The chemistry laboratory is devoted to the design and synthesis of new organic precursors, which will enable the formation of spin lattices and switchable topological superconductors.
