System for the Transfer of 2D Material

2017
Student Projects

Abstract

A setup for transferring 2D materials was design and assembled. Key features of the setup are: (i) microscope and translational/rotational stages for aligning 2D material samples and target substrates, (ii) force sensor for force controlled transfers and (iii) a heating stage for transfers at elevated temperatures. Using standard parts from Thorlabs allowed us to assemble a virtual version of the system in SolidWorks. Doing so, various types of issues were discovered and corrected before ordering all the components. After receiving all components, the setup was assembled and initial testing of it initiated.

Composite material

A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have notably dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements. Within the finished structure, the individual elements remain separate and distinct, distinguishing composites from mixtures and solid solutions.

Virtual machine

In computing, a virtual machine (VM) is the virtualization or emulation of a computer system. Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide the functionality of a physical computer. Their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination of the two. Virtual machines differ and are organized by their function, shown here: System virtual machines (also called full virtualization VMs) provide a substitute for a real machine. They provide the functionality needed to execute entire operating systems.

Virtual PC

Virtual PC is an x86 emulator for PowerPC Mac hosts and a virtualization app for Microsoft Windows hosts. It was created by Connectix in 1997 and acquired by Microsoft in 2003. The Mac version was discontinued in 2006 following the Mac transition to Intel, while the Windows version was discontinued in 2011 in favour of Hyper-V. Until version 4, Virtual PC only supported Classic Mac OS hosts. Version 4 was released in 2000 for both Mac OS and Windows, and version 5 (2001) added support for Mac OS X hosts.
