About
The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Quantum Design UK and Ireland Ltd and Attocube systems AG for the supply of closed-cycle cryostat systems for optical spectroscopy of semiconductor quantum dots.
The contract, valued at £457,748.82, comprised two lots: Lot 1 for an optical table cryostat for photoluminescence imaging, and Lot 2 for up to two standalone optical cryostats for long-duration measurements requiring high stability and low vibration.
These systems support the Department of Physics and Astronomy's research on self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots.
