Consulting Services for Experimental System Design & Integration
At Quantum Tools and Services (QTS), we provide advanced consulting services to support the development, optimization, and integration of specialized experimental setups in condensed matter physics, quantum materials research, and nanotechnology. Our focus lies in enabling seamless workflows that combine fabrication, high-pressure research, strain application, and spectroscopic/electrical measurements—customized to your scientific objectives.
Areas of Expertise
- Cleanroom Process & Device Fabrication:
- Guidance on lithography (optical & e-beam), etching, deposition, and encapsulation for 2D and nanoelectronic devices.
- Recommendations on substrate choice, resist/process chemistry, and process flow optimization.
- High-Pressure, Low-Temperature, and Magnetic Field Integration:
- System-level consulting for combining diamond anvil cells (DACs) with cryostats and magnets.
- Advice on vibration isolation, pressure calibration, ruby fluorescence setups, and sample loading protocols.
- Design assistance for optical access, electrical feedthroughs, and temperature stability under extreme conditions.
- Strain-Based Experimentation:
- Integration of piezoelectric uniaxial strain cells with cryogenic platforms (e.g., PPMS, dilution refrigerators).
- Strain calibration, sample mounting techniques, and signal routing in magneto-transport environments.
- Spectroscopy & Transport Measurement Compatibility:
- Compatibility checks and co-design for Raman, IR, and THz spectroscopies under pressure/strain.
- Optimization of optical alignment, window design, and shielding in high-field cryogenic conditions.
Collaborative System Development
QTS facilitates multi-party collaboration between research groups and instrument manufacturers (e.g., spectroscopy, cryogenics, magnet systems), enabling:
- Co-development of custom hardware that integrates equipment across vendors
- Retrofitting and adapting tools to accommodate your specific experimental conditions
- Communication support across stakeholders to ensure component compatibility and performance reliability
Training & Technical Support
We offer hands-on and remote training modules to help users and lab personnel get started with:
- High-pressure experimental protocols
- Low-temperature and high-field measurement systems
- Lithographic device preparation and strain-based transport studies
This ensures researchers can build, operate, and troubleshoot advanced setups with confidence.
