Facilities & Equipment

(Updated on Nov. 6, 2024) All users must be authorized by Professor Xing or Professor Jena.

All users must be trained by one of the following personnel: Professor Xing, Professor Jena, Dr. Vlad Protasenko, Dr. Kazuki Nomoto, Dr. Jimy Encomendero or authorized super-users in the Jena-Xing group.  

The training process in the Jena-Xing group has 3 phases.  A NEW user (both in the Jena-Xing group and other research groups) meets with Dr. Vlad first.

Training: Shadowing -> Supervised -> Authorized

The lab policies and operational manuals are posted on the Group Folder on Box. All users are re-authorized annually to access facilities in the Jena-Xing group. If you have lost access to the lab/equipment, most likely it is because you need to be re-authorized.

Group Equipment

Note: Equipment not listed below is available on a first-come first-served basis.

The Jena-Xing laboratory currently has a few molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) systems. They are dedicated to growth of device-quality GaN/AlN material systems (Gen10), Ga2O3 material systems (Gen930), AlN, B/Sc-compounds and transition metal nitrides (Xplor), layered material systems and GaAs materials systems (two connected Gen-II systems).

Group members, please use this website to sign in for growths on each system and check system status.
