Crystal Growth

We are currently operating two NEC Machinery, Inc. furnaces in-house. Brief description of crystal growth below. (click on a picture for more details on that step.)

Image furnace (NEC) for single crystal growth by Traveling-Solvent Floating-Zone method.	View of the elliptic mirrors from outside machine revealing water cooling system.
Tube furnace used for the synthesis of the feed rods for crystal growth	Single crystal Sr2CuO3 grown with an image furnace.
Laue camera installed on rotating anode X-ray generator.	Different types of goniometers for Laue camera.
Diamond blade saw for cutting crystals in oriented position.	Automated polishing machine with multiple sample platen.
Laue image of a silicon crystal.	MPMS for magnetization and transport measurements. maximum field: 7 Tesla; temperature range: 2K- 400K.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
