Facilities & Instruments:


The MRSEC Facilities Network is a nationwide partnership of NSF supported MRSEC centers designed to provide support to researchers in the broad area of Materials Research in academic, government and industrial laboratories around the world.
Solid State Characterization Facility
A collaborative facility for the characterization of the optical and electrical properties of materials currently exists in the Engineering Research Building at the University of Wisconsin. This facility, developed since 1994, includes a number of tools primarily intended for the characterization of semiconductor materials. Tools available include:
  • a variable temperature photoluminescence system,
  • a Bede D3 multiple crystal x-ray diffractometer,
  • a capacitance-voltage electrochemical profiler,
  • a Van Der Pauw Hall measurement system,
  • a near-field scanning electron microscope (NSOM), and
  • a state-of-the-art commercial AFM.

The facilities are open for general use through IRG 1.
