National Physical Laboratory awarded a contract to Moorfield Nanotechnology Limited for the supply of an annealing system to research graphene and 2D materials.

The equipment serves as a key resource for increasing device quality and accelerating progress in the new 2D materials fabrication capability established at Quantum technology, and for developing test and validation capability.

Annealing is a standard technique used in 2D materials fabrication and characterisation centres to improve sample quality and reduce surface contamination by desorbing airborne species and enhancing structural, chemical, and electrical integrity.

The contract value was £35,900.
