Acquisition of a Helios 5 UC Focused Ion Beam

Description

The Niels Bohr Institute is part of the Faculty of SCIENCE at the University of Copenhagen. The Niels Bohr Institute has a 100 year long tradition of excellence within science, in particular within the area of quantum physics. The institute was inaugurated on March 3, 1921, by Professor Niels Bohr. We are approx. 430 researchers, 70 administrative and technical staff, 100 PhD students and 400 students. The European Physical Society has declared the Niels Bohr Institute a Historic Site of great international importance for the development of physics and research. Lot 1: A focused ion beam (FIB) is essential for our characterization efforts here at NQCP. The FIB will be one among a handful of highly specialized characterization tools that will be used daily. Each will give essential feedback for troubleshooting and improving materials grown at the Quantum Foundry. Modern FIB models are highly automized, enabling fast and consistent lamella production, allowing microscopy with atomic resolution inside of materials. This specific model has unrivalled automatic lamella production, both in terms of reliability and lamella geometry.
