PLD

Pulsed Laser Deposition

Modern Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) system containing all state-of-the-art equipment for high-quality thin film deposition: high-pressure & high-voltage RHEED, laser substrate heating and in-situ laser energy control. The PLD allows the synthesis of materials and heterosystems for oxide electronics. An UHV tunnel allows in-vacuum sample transfer between the PLD system and the adjacent ADOMBE system and Ion-Beam-Etching system.
