Cryogenic STM & SFM

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document outlines the operation and specifications of the Cryogenic Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) systems developed by Omicron NanoTechnology GmbH. These systems are designed for high-performance operation at low temperatures and high magnetic fields, suitable for delicate experimental conditions.

Specifications:

Temperature Range: Below 500 mK with a 3He insert and up to 300 K with a 4He insert.
Magnetic Fields: Up to 12 Tesla, with various configurations including single-axis and 3D vector fields.
Cryostat Hold Time: Up to 160 hours, depending on configuration.
Mechanical Decoupling: Spring suspension for isolation between cryostat and microscope.

System Features:

Continuous SPM operation during magnetic field variation.
Bottom Loader Concept: Utilizes a cryostat from Oxford Instruments with alternative cooling techniques.
Microscopes: Includes a Cryogenic STM for scanning tunneling microscopy and an interferometer-based Cryogenic SFM for atomic force microscopy.

Performance and Applications:

Atomic resolution on metal surfaces with pm range stability and meV energy resolution.
Versatile SPM techniques including Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, Spin Polarized Tunneling Microscopy, and Magnetic Force Microscopy.
Applications in atom manipulation and systematic study of adsorption behavior.

Technical Information:

Cryogenic STM: Scan range of 6.5 µm x 6.5 µm x 0.8 µm at room temperature, with atomic resolution.
Cryogenic SFM: Scan range of 20 µm x 20 µm x 2.2 µm at room temperature, designed for STM, AFM, and MFM measurements.
Temperature Sensors: Equipped with Cernox™ temperature sensors.

Contact Information: Omicron NanoTechnology GmbH, headquartered in Taunusstein, Germany, with global agents and partners.

Cryogenic UHV “bottom loader” systems: a 3He-Cryogenic STM system (in the front) and a 4He-Cryogenic SFM system in the background. Proven Performance High-performance SPM operation at low temperatures and high magnetic fields puts stringent requirements on instrument design. With the Cryogenic series, Omicron has developed a stable and multifunctional platform for delicate experimental conditions. SPM operation at cryogenic temperatures is a well-established technique and known to be key to observation of topography and electronic structure of atoms, clusters, molecules, islands and surfaces...
