By Institut Catala de Nanociencia i Nanotecnologia (ICN2)
The unit provides scientific and technical assistance in applied physics, precision instrumentation, microengineering, nanotechnology, scientific computing and 3D-design of precision devices. Its main goal is to help address challenging instrumentation requirements in both basic and applied research. Main research lines: - Design, development and improvement of advanced precision instrumentation - Modification of commercial instrumentation to match particular experimental requirements - Scientific computing - Data acquisition - 3D-CAD design of precision devices - Vacuum technology (HV, UHV) - Cryogenics In 2021, the unit developed several novel setups to enable new experiments in the fields of magnetometry, spectroscopy, synthesis of nanomaterials, photovoltaics and bio-sensing. The unit also participated in dissemination activities, contributing its expertise to design and build prototypes and technology demos.
