Second Harmonic Hall

Second Harmonic Hall (SHH) Measurement

SHH setup for spin-orbit torque measurements, including 360-degree rotation capability with respect to x, y, z axis, a sample holder using custom PCB and ribbon cables, sweeping of injection current and magnetic field,  and two lock-in amplifiers.

Spin Torque Ferromagnetic Resonance

Spin Torque Ferromagnetic Resonance (ST-FMR) Measurement

ST-FMR setup for spin-orbit torque measurements, including conventional and unconventional spin torques in heavy metals, topological materials and antiferromagnetic / ferromagnetic thin films.

Aja UHV sputtering chamber

AJA UHV Deposition Chamber

AJA UHV sputtering chamber with 8 targets and load lock for sample transfers. It can accommodate substrates ranging from pieces to 8" diameter

Kerr microscope

Kerr Microscope

Kerr microscope made by Evico for magnetic domain imaging and local M-H loops. 

Cluster UHV system

Cluster UHV Deposition System

“Cluster” UHV system for in situ vacuum deposition of a variety of films from targets comprised of a dozen different materials, with thickness control to the 0.1 nanometer level (Figure 4).  Novel composite materials can be formed by co-deposition from multiple targets or in the presence of a reactive gas, thus presenting a vast range of combinatorial possibilities.
