CNS Shared Facility

The Center for Nanoscale Systems operates a Characterization Facility for the study and optimization of nanoscale electronic, magnetic, and photonic devices and circuits and for establishing the knowledge and technology basis for incorporating such elements into systems-level applications. The facility is available to the Cornell community and outside users. Equipment is available to trained users on a 24 hour basis. Equipment implementation and maintenance is recovered through user fees. Access to the facility is through an electronic key lock. New users should read the Clark Hall Safety Guide before gaining access to the facility. Contact the facility manager for more information.

Online scheduling for the following equipment is accessed and managed by CCMR Coral.

Facility Equipment:

Electronic/Magnetic Probe Stations
Electronic Test Equipment
Photonics Lab
Microscopes, Spectrometers, Surface Analysis and other equipment

Data Acquisition and Analysis

All probe stations have dedicated computers with GPIB communication cards, PCI-DAQ boards and measurement/development software (LabVIEW 7.0 and LabWindows).

Research Collaboration (Clark D12, D20, D21)

In conjunction with individual research groups and the Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR), CNS implements equipment for collaborative projects. This includes an ion-beam deposition and ion mill system, a UHV sputter deposition system, laser ablation (PLD) system, flowing-hydrogen tube furnace for physical vapor growth of organic crystals, and others. Research groups interested in collaborations involving these instruments should contact the facility manager for further information.
