It is a class 10000 clean room, with a surface of 50 m2. The clean room is available and being used for the preparation of thin molecular films in a dust free environment, necessary for a flawless electronic characterization.A globe box from mbraun allows the manipulation of oxygen and moisture sensitive materials. The molecular thermal evaporator and the metal thermal evaporator are located inside the globe box, making possible the deposition of reactive materials such as Li, K, Ba, Ca and Mg.The clean room is shielded from UV radiation coming from illumination. This protects sensitive materials during the whole fabrication-measurement process.
Available equipment: potentiostats, frequency analysers, spectrophotometers, quartz microbalance and salt spray chamber, STM microscopy. UVEG research support service equipment. Electrochemical techniques: voltammetry, chronoamperometry, electrochemical impedance. In situ spectroelectrochemical and electrogravimetric techniques. In situ spectroelectrochemical and electrogravimetric techniques in alternating current: electrochemical impedance, mass impedance and in situ colour impedance.
