SPM
- Scanning tunneling microscope with magnet (VLT-STM)
Sample preparation facilities: Argon-ion sputter gun, heater (up to 1200 ºC), electron beam evaporator (max. 6 evaporator sources), low-temperature manipulator, field ion microscope for observation of the probe tip.
The STM is designed for achieving atomic resolution in both topographic and spectroscopic modes at low temperature in a high magnetic field.
Operation temperature: 0.4 K (30 hours)，4.5 K (6 days), 77 k (10 day)
Magnetic field: 0̃16 T
Vacuum: <10-8 Pa
Equipped with as sputter gun, heaters, evaporators, and a field ion microscope.

- Low-temperature Scanning Tunneling microscope (LT-STM)
Scanning tunneling microscope for observation of conductive materials placed on a single crystal substrate.
A long WD microscope allows the STM tip to land on a sample smaller than 10μm.
Sample preparation facilities: Argon-ion sputter gun, heater (up to 2000ºC), electron beam evaporator, field ion microscope for observation of the probe tip.
Operation temperature: 2.5 K ～ 40 K, 78 K
Vacuum: <10-8 Pa

- Environment-Control Frequency-Modulation Scanning Probe Microscope
High resolution Frequency-Modulation Scanning Probe Microscope
(FM-SPM) with controlled environments including in liquid, in vacuum, in
gas-atmosphere, at elevated temperatures, under light irradiation, and
so on. It can be used for atomic-scale surface and interface characterization
of structures and properties of metals, semiconductors, insulators,
polymers, and so on.
