Competitive advantage
- World-class functional scanning probe microscope technique that has an advantage over other bulk characterisation techniques in providing spatial resolution to nanoscale breadths
- The ability to measure the structure as well as the functional data, which better brings out the correlation between the structure and characteristics
- Unique scanning probe microscopy setup that is not available anywhere else in the world
Impact
- Improving the fundamental scientific understanding of nanoscale properties and contributing to device performance improvement.
Successful applications
- Spatially resolved measurements of surface photovoltage and photocurrent in nanoscale
- 2D and 3D structured halide perovskite materials
- Revealing properties of nanoscale defects in semiconductors including CZTS, GaAs, and Si
- Investigate nanoscale properties of semiconductors for indoor solar cells
Capabilities and facilities
The scanning probe microscopy setup comprises all the necessary functions for in-depth study such as:
- Tuneable wavelength laser source (400-8500nm)
- Environmental control (vacuum, O2, N2), heating, cooling stage (-120ºC to 300ºC)
- High sensitive current sensor (1 pA to 10µA).
