The Nikalyte NL-UHV instrument range enables the generation and deposition of nanoparticles in Ultra-High vacuum on to your sample to create a functionalised surface. The properties of the nanoparticle coatings can be tailored through the precise control over the size, compositon and structure of the nanoparticles.

Unlike with chemical techniques, the NL-UHV range of instruments allows the direct deposition of ultra-pure nanoparticles onto a huge variety of substrates and materials. The film density can be tuned and the film itself can be highly adherent to the sample surface.

The NL-UHV is available with a single 1”, 2” source or a triple 1” source, the NL-DX3. The NL-DX3 allows the deposition of up to three materials either individually, or as alloys using two or three materials simultaneously.

For the ultimate in control of nanoparticle deposition, the Nikalyte NL-QMS mass filter allows the deposited nanoparticles to be scanned or filtered by mass or nanoparticle diameter in real-time, allowing you to optimise the growth conditions. The NL-QMS is controlled via our simple and intuitive WindowsTM software
