NanoESCA
One of the main research thrusts in LabMontiTM is understanding the fundamental relationship between the electronic structure and the structure of a material. This is challenging when the material is structured on a length-scale of µm or less, as is the case e.g. for atomically thin 2D materials. New means to access both the spatial and the electronic structure at µm sizes are necessary. We have the first US-based NanoESCA, an instrument which allows us to elucidate the intimate relationship between spatial, electronic and spin structure of nanostructured materials and access the fundamental physics at interfaces.

The NanoESCA is able to image electronic wavefunctions for many different electron wavelengths simultaneously. Shown: Momentum maps of WSe2.
