PNNL Materials Scientist Uses a Molecular Beam Epitaxy System to Develop Ultra-Thin Films
"The instrument," as it's called, seems to take up the entire room. The sprawling molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system is all tubes, bolts, stainless steel components, and air-tight glass. It can create an ultrahigh-vacuum environment, a space nearly devoid of matter, a space similar to that outside the International Space Station.
