facilities
Grutter Research Group
Prof. Grutter lab has state of the art and innovative nc-AFM room and low temperature equipment in his laboratory. His group also has access to a nanolithography tool used for patterning atomic defects (Nanofrazor).
Nanotools
The McGill Nanotools Micro and Nanofabrication Facility is a shared facility serving academic, industrial and government
researchers in micro- and nano-technology.
Waterloo
facilities
Prof. Tsen’s Group
Prof. Tsen’s laboratory has motorized microscope/transfer stage in glovebox for deposition of magnetic 2D films. He also has several low temperature quantum transport set-ups
Sherbrooke
facilities
Institut Quantique (IQ)
The Quantum FabLab has cryo-free dilution refrigerators, VTIs, PPMS, and a micro-PL setup.
Interdisciplinary Institute for Technological Innovation (3iT)
The 3iT has a wafer bonder which could enable large-scale transfer of TMDs. It also has a 10 nm resolution E-beam writer, an ALD, and instruments for plasma etching and metal deposition.
Vancouver
facilities
Ye Research Group
Prof. Ye’s lab house a home-built tunable optical parametric oscillator dedicated to multidimensional coherent spectroscopy (MDCS). The MDCS spectrometer uses a colinear geometry and can provide a diffraction limited spatial resolution.
