Fields of Applications
enabling fundamental research near absolute zero
Surface Science
Scanning probe microscopy offers high sensitivity and nanoscale resolution, and attocube
microscopes extend those unique capabilities to mK environments and high magnetic fields.
This opens the door to a plethora of interesting quantum phenomena, which occur at energy
scales so small that they can be observed only at ultra-low temperatures.
Magneto-transport Measurements
Electrical measurements as a function of temperature and magnetic field often also require
control of the direction of the magnetic field with respect to the sample structure. Vector
magnets are not only quite costly and cumbersome to operate and remotely control, but
also quite limited in the magnitude of their vector field strength. A compact and cost-effi-
cient solution is provided by attocube precise rotators, which allow for angle-dependent
magneto-transport measurements in 2D or 3D with the full field of a single solenoid.
Cavity Physics
Since a few years, it has become possible to prepare macroscopic mechanical oscillators
in their groundstate at ultra-low temperatures, which opens the door to sophisticated
experiments that couple such quantum resonators to quantum dots, single spins in
diamond, or high-finesse optical cavities. These demanding experiments require ultra-precise
and extremely stable nanopositioners, which attocube can offer with proven performance.
