Welcome To The 2DCC-MIP User Facilities
The 2DCC’s state-of-the-art synthesis and characterization facilities support a robust external user program, as well as, a vibrant in-house research effort focused on transformative advances in the synthesis and characterization of 2D chalcogenide layered materials. The 2DCC-MIP facilities, as well as, our related facilities are available free of charge to US academic and government laboratory users upon project approval.
Thin Films Facility
Custom deposition tools with in situ and real-time characterization enable fundamental studies of epitaxy, growth and the properties of pristine 2D films.
Thin Films Virtual Tours: MBE1 (Davey 35), MBE2 (MSC 118A), MOCVD1 & MOCVD2 (both in MSC 125A)
Thin Films Guided Tours from 2022: MBE1 (Davey 35), MBE2 (MSC 118A), MOCVD1 (MSC 125A) & MOCVD2 (MSC 125A)
Bulk Growth Facility
Produces high quality single crystal samples and explores new material compositions.
Bulk Growth Virtual Tour: Bridgman, CVT, Compounding (all in MSC 129A); Flux, Melt and Floating Zone Growth Systems in Davey Lab: Davey 301, 344, 346 and 347
Bulk Growth Guided Tour from 2022: Davey 347
Theory/Simulation Facility
Provides computational materials science support for user activities emphasizing the simulation of growth kinetics through first principles and reactive potential approaches.
