Research Lab Facilities

The Nanotechnology Research laboratory established by Prof. Kouklin at the College of Engineering and Applied Science, at UWM is fully equipped to accomplish a vast variety of highly sophisticated and scientifically demanding tasks in cross-linked interdisciplinary research domains, ranging from nanoscale materials fabrication and characterization to bio-nanotechnological assays. The College of Engineering also incorporates Advanced Research Facility that features additional facilities for materials characterization and research such as 3D Olympus Microscope, AFM, STM, XRD (Bruker). Additional instruments are available at Physics and Biology Departments: HRSEM and HRTEM (Hitachi), respectively. UWM faculty also have 24 / 7 access to e-beam, thermal evaporation and sputtering based deposition/etching equipment on campus.  

The laboratory hosts a vast variety of resources to fabricate, test and characterize a broad spectrum of semiconductors and nano-materials for application in nano-electro-optical, mechanical and photonic devices. This includes 2 I-V stations, AC characterization and optical components, 2 optical tables, as well as  instruments for nanofabrication and characterization, cryostat ( 10-600K) with electrical and optical access, and UV-vis-NIR Spectrophotometer with Confocal Microscope.
