PARADIM

Thin Film Growth Facility (at Cornell University)

The PARADIM Thin Film Growth Facility at Cornell provides unprecedented capability for the growth and characterization of thin films and interfaces of inorganic materials. 

The signature tool will be an integrated instrument consisting of an oxide MBE system and an ARPES system.

The MBE system has eleven sources that can be used simultaneously and changed/refilled without breaking growth chamber vacuum, 62 different elements are available. This gives PARADIM users unprecedented flexibility in exploring new materials by design. The MBE system is currently available for users.

The ARPES system is based on prior designs and is being custom built utilizing major components from Scienta Omicron.

The new Cornell PARADIM Thin Film Facility is housed in over 1400 sq. ft. of newly renovated space in Duffield Hall.
