MEDUSA station is a surface science system equipped with two main characterization techniques: Omicron RT-STM and FT-IRRAS.
It has 2 separated UHV chambers (base pressure 10-10 mbar), one dedicated to the sample preparation with the common surface science techniques such as noble gas ion sputtering / and annealing by electron bombardment (up to 950 k). It also includes a standard QMS and divers ports with different crucibles and molecular evaporators. This chamber also holds the RT-STM. The other chamber is equipped with de FT-IRRAS together with a manipulator that can be cool to liquid nitrogen temperatures. It also has a LEED (Omicron). This complete system allows for a wide range of surface science experiments.
