Laboratories
The Chair of Experimental Solid State Physics (LS Efetov) has extended research laboratories which allow to perform the preparation and nano-fabrication of quantum materials, and the subsequent characterization and measurement of their emergent quantum phases. In particular, it is devided into two sections where it hosts the Quantum Materials and Devices cleanroom and several low temperature quantum transport laboratories.
The Quantum Materials and Devices cleanroom
The Quantum Materials and Devices cleanroom belongs to the Chair of Experimental Solid State Physics (LS Efetov) and is primarily a fundamental research cleanroom with very easy access and low process barriers. It is a facility that allows to quickly and easily test research ideas, new quantum device concepts, and develop initial device fabrication processes.
The cleanroom offers front to end processing of standard fabrication techniques, from growth of materials, assembly and co-lamination of 2D materials, nano-lithography, lift-off, etching, metal deposition, and packaging, and has also basic characterization tools, like AFM, SEM, Raman, photoluminescence etc. A broad variety of different quantum materials (e.g. 2D moiré, nanostructured semiconductors, superconductors, magnets, metals and insulators) can be processed in the cleanroom, and a multitude of quantum devices can be assembled and tested (quantum sensors, single photon detectors, single photon emitters, quantum dots, Josephson junctions, superconducting Qubits etc.).
Our cleanroom received generous funding from the Munich Quantum Valley initiative and participates in its Quantum Technology Park & Entrepreneurship (QTPE) consortium.

Low temperature quantum transport laboratories
Our low temperature transport laboratory is equipped with specialized instrumentation to characterize electronic, magnetic, and thermal properties of quantum materials under various conditions. Key facilities include cryogenic measurement systems, such as dilution refrigerators or varible temperature cryostats, which enable electronic tranport experiments at extremely low temperatures down to millikelvin scales. High magnetic field magnets (superconducting or resistive) allow for magneto-transport measurements, such as Hall effect and magnetoresistance, essential for understanding quantum phenomena. Additionally, the lab is equipped with precision electronics for sensitive voltage, current, and resistance measurements, low-noise amplifiers, lock-in amplifiers, and automated data acquisition systems.
