The Toor Lab is situated in Iowa Advanced Technologies Laboratory (IATL) rooms 192 and 370.
IATL 192 is a 768-square-foot room equipped with the following: four large optical tables for conducting optical experiments; a large collection of optical mounts and rotational and translation stages; LabView operating computers for taking automated measurements; four spectrometers that cover the wavelengths of 300 nm to 1000 nm (Ocean Optics UV-Vis-IR), 950 nm to 1650 nm (Ocean Optics Flame IR), 2 µm to 22 µm (Nicolet Magna 560 FTIR) and 60 µm to 600 µm (Menlo Systems Tera K15); a Keithley C-V analyzer; F & K Delvotec wedge wire bonder, Signatone four-point probe sheet resistivity measurement system; two Omex microscopes attached to cameras; several source meter units and oscilloscopes; two liquid nitrogen cryostats; vacuum pumps and a Bambu H2D 3D printer.
IATL 370 is a 1030-square-foot wet lab room equipped with two large optical tables as well as two chemical hoods, DI water taps and sinks, and chemical storage cabinets and work surfaces. The lab houses two MSE sputtering tools one for thin-film metal deposition (DC) and the other for dielectric deposition (RF); a high power (>1 W) mid-IR quantum cascade laser, laser driver, and chiller for the laser system, and relevant optomechanics; and a 1000W electric blast drying 45 L oven.
The group also owns annual licenses for COMSOL FEM electromagnetic modeling software and Origin plotting software and has institutional license access to MATLAB. The lab is equipped with several workstations to operate and collect data from the equipment in the lab.
Our lab is co-located with the following shared facilities in IATL:
