Daum tube
Description
The DAUM platform (Ultravacuum Deposits and Analysis of nanoMaterials) of the Jean Lamour Institute is made up of 28 ultra-high vacuum chambers connected to each other by an ultra-high vacuum transfer tunnel (10-10 mbar) 70 meters long, including 30 meters are dedicated to technology transfer. It combines multi-material structuring techniques in the form of thin films with multi-dimensional analysis techniques.
This extraordinary and almost unique equipment on a global scale aims to develop new materials with unprecedented properties. These new materials respond to different societal challenges: energy and the environment, with a view to sustainable development; health ; the storage of information, in our all-digital society. The platform is therefore focused on current issues in fundamental and applied research in the field of thin-film nanomaterials. It aims to be resolutely open to the outside world through both university and academic collaborations.
Location
Jean Lamour Institute (UMR 7198), Nancy.
Technical characteristics
The interconnected ultra-high vacuum equipment, listed below, is all dedicated to the development of thin layers combining several materials and to the study of surfaces under ultra-high vacuum.
A case for transporting samples under ultra-high vacuum completes this instrumental equipment. It allows the exchange of complementary know-how and opens up possibilities for collaboration.
