Synthesis Laboratory
The CXS Synthesis laboratory is primarily used for the synthesis of nanometre scale crystals and device structures. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) permits the synthesis of complex transition metal-oxide materials such as vanadates, cuprates and manganites as thin films or as heterostructures. Our laboratory houses a 248 nm KrF and a 193 nm ArF excimer laser, both of which are routinely used for pulsed laser deposition and laser-assisted fabrication.

X-ray Diffraction Laboratory
The CXS X-ray diffraction laboratory houses two Rigaku microfocus rotating anode X-ray generators (Cu, Mo) housed in a single X-ray enclosure. This setup is ideally suited for nanoscale crystal structure determination and streamlined sample preparation for advanced lens-less X-ray imaging techniques such as Bragg Coherent X-ray Diffraction Imaging (BCXDI) as performed at synchrotron facilities such as the Diamond Light Source.
