Our main research facilities are located in the UCSC building located at 2300 Delaware Ave in Santa Cruz. Comprising approximately 3300 sq ft (300 sq m), the facility includes the Materials Characterization Lab, where magnetometry and magnetotransport measurements are carried out as a function of temperature, and the Materials Synthesis Lab, which includes molecular beam epitaxy, pulsed laser deposition, and sputtering thin film growth equipment. The Materials Synthesis Lab also includes chemical vapor deposition capabilities managed by Jairo Velasco's group, which focuses on the physics of 2D materials. The Device Fabrication lab, located in a clean room environment, and attached to the Materials Synthesis Lab, contains device fabrication equipment, including a mask aligner, wire bonder, spinner, etc. Also located at 2300 Delaware is Art Ramirez's lab, focusing on quantum materials, and Nobby Kobayashi's Nanostructured Energy Conversion Technology and Research (NECTAR) lab. Additional available facilities include the X-ray Laboratory in the UCSC Chemistry Department and electron-beam writing capabilities at the W. M. Keck Center for Nanoscale Optofluidics in the UCSC Baskin School of Engineering.
