MBE Introduction.ppt

Introduction of DCA Instruments DCA Instruments is a company specializing in the design and manufacture of Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and UHV thin film deposition systems and components. DCA is a Finnish company located in Turku, in the southwest corner of Finland. Since the company was founded in 1989, DCA has installed more than 100 UHV systems around the world. Finnish high tech is at its best at DCA. A large part of our business has always been building complex, custom design deposition systems. We utilize our custom design background in the manufacturing of our standard systems. Our design flexibility is valued by our customers. Many of our standard systems have started as a solution to a customers particular deposition process.

Under compressive epitaxial strain a much larger increase in Tc is possible. Requires the choice of a suitable system and substrate combination The possible control knobs are: the distance between the magnetic (black arrows) Cu atoms dab, the corrugation of the CuO2 planes alpha the thickness of CR dCR the interlayer distance between two consecutive CuO2 planes dIL the distance between the charge reservoir and the CuO2 plane dCT. the lattice deformations associated with the strain fundamentally modify the energy scales, leading to the formation and condensation of the superconducting pairs. 214 film on a S
