Our research group uses various in-house and outside research facilities, including the thin film deposition and characterization systems at the Oxide Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the University of Colorado Boulder, and the University of Michigan, Ann arbor. At UW-Parkside, some of our work is done in the SC Johnson Integrated Science Lab. Some of the lab instruments used for our research are shown below.
(Applied Physics Lab - UW Parkside)
Our XRD-6100 diffractometer is used to analyze impurity phases and crystallinity of oxide materials.
(Oxide Lab - UW Madison)
We use an excimer KrF high energy pulsed laser based thin film deposition system (PLD) to deposit high quality epitaxial superconductor and insulator thin films and heterostructures.
(Oxide Lab - UW Madison)
We grow the (110)-YBCO/(110) PBCGO heterostructures at the oxide laboratory, Materials Science and Engineering, UW-Madison.
(Applied Physics Lab - UW Parkside)
Polycrystalline bulk samples of high temperature superconductor and electrical insulators are synthesized in Thermo Scientific Lindberg/Blue M 1100°C Tube Furnace, 24" Heated Length, 208/240 V using solid state reaction method. These samples are subsequently used for the thin film deposition.
