Compact, Transferable and Modular Scanning Probe Microscope Head
Plugged-in SPM with the new head design. Invention Summary:Current scanning probe microscope (SPM) heads are hard-wired into their base with a strong electrical connection, making it impossible to remove the SPM while leaving the cryogenic insert in situ. A SPM head with the ability to be easily removed or transferred about a system is much needed to...

Internal Vibration Isolation for A Cryogen-free Cryostat to Operate Scanning Tunneling Microscopes
Invention Summary:Cryogen-free cryostats have attracted attention due to their significant reduction in cost and labor to cool systems to cryogenic temperatures. With cryogen-free cryostats helium does not need to be refilled, which allows experiments to run indefinitely without interruption. This also means that the costly drawing from the worlds scarce...

Low Profile Transfer Mechanism for Controlled Environments
Invention Summary:Various scientific and manufacturing processes are performed in special controlled environments (e.g., ultra-high vacuum, high radiation, air-stable, etc.) that require special chambers that maintain the desired environment. A device such as a superconducting magnet or cryostat is housed within the chamber that requires objects to...
