SPM Aarhus 150

Extremely stable and versatile SPM Aarhus 150 SPECS, suitable for final scanning probe microscopy applications

SPM Aarhus 150 is a very stable and time-saving instrument. A specially designed 3kg mass variable temperature scanner platform with integrated low-noise liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling device ensures excellent SPM performance. Special attention should be paid to separating the flow cooler from the sample stage, but ensuring a permanent cooling connection between them. For this purpose, a specialized flexible copper wire braid is used to connect the overweight scanner platform to the flow low-temperature thermostat without affecting the excellent stability of SPM Aarhus. The tight mechanical and thermal contact between the sample holder and SPM stage enables extremely precise temperature control and stability of the sample. At temperatures below 130K, the typical cooling time is less than 60 minutes. The typical time span from inserting the sample at room temperature to preparing the SPM below 130 K is 20 minutes. For temperature rise, even at high temperatures up to 400 K, the sample can be reheated. Two consumptions can be achieved during the rapid cooling process from room temperature to low-temperature thermostat and during operation. During the initial cooling period, approximately 20 liters of LN 2 are consumed, while a typical LN 2 consumes around 10 liters per hour during operation at 130 K. By integrating the SPM mechanism into one STM/AFM unit, KolibriSensor can be used ™ Easily upgrade SPM Aarhus 150 to AFM. SPM Aarhus 150 has set a new standard by demonstrating the highest thermal stability at variable temperatures between 90 and 400K without compromising its original mechanical stability. Direct in-situ optical channels allow for the study of sample illumination and light induced processes. In addition, the evaporation port allows for in-situ deposition on the sample surface and the study of growth processes during scanning.
