EMPOWERING
BREAKTHROUGHS
FROM LAB TO PRODUCTION
We really appreciate the integrity of Sentys when we are negotiating to purchase new equipment, and their willingness to find creative solutions that fit within our budget.
The stability of my low-temperature STM from CreaTec, and especially its collaboratively designed scan head, has been essential in our terahertz scanning tunneling microscopy work.
Sentys and CreaTec STM instrumentation enabled the first demonstration of single-molecule infrared spectroscopy using scanning tunneling microscopy.
The CreaTec/Sentys SPM has been an excellent, versatile tool in my lab, enabling everything from scanning tunneling potentiometry to tunneling photoluminescence. In 10 years it has been remarkably stable, once running 4+ years without venting.
Although I purchased my CreaTec LT-STM eight years ago I feel Sentys' support has never waned. Sentys has consistently provided advice on instrument repairs, upgrades, and materials for proposals.
Sentys engineered a custom 12-contact sample holder for us and were very easy to work with.
Sentys delivered the unique and reliable CreaTec MBE / LT-SPM, which delivered results on novel topological insulators that became a centrepiece of our Centre of Excellence.
Our CreaTec MiniMBE has played a pivotal role in efficiently synthesizing graphene nanoribbons, quasi-1D quantum systems and semiconductors, driving our research in high-performance, energy-efficient logic technologies.
The custom-designed laser-heating manipulator has enabled my research in selective-area deposition of superconducting films.
The ALS-U project is happy to have collaborated with Sentys to specify, design and build six 24-channel bakeout controllers for the ALS-U Accumulator and Storage Ring. The racks have successfully performed bakeout and ~200°C NEG activation of the upgrade's vacuum chambers, and remain in service.
