Equipment for ultrafast dynamics studies. Left: system for fundamental dynamic studies in gas phase with ion/electron detection. Right: arrangement for the study of transient absorption of systems in solution. 

Microwave spectrometers. Left: spectrometer incorporating a Fabry-Pérot resonator, vacuum chamber and pumps, excitation and detection electronic components, and picosecond pulsed laser for sample vaporization. Right: broadband spectrometer, capable of working in the 2-20 GHz spectral range.

Equipment for laser spectroscopy: double/triple IR-UV resonance spectroscopy systems. In these experiments four lasers are employed: the signal is generated by two UV laseres, in a similar configuration to two-color REMPI experiments.

Laser interference lithography system for patterning of photosensitive resist; lineal, circular, and elliptical shapes with features sizes between 200 and 2000 nm.

High vacuum chamber for electron beam deposition of inorganic materials, thin films, multilayers, and nanostructures of Au, Ag, Ti, Cu, Fe, Co, Ni, Al, Pt, SiO2, etc.

Magneto-optical equipment for the magnetic characterization of thin films and nanostructures. Setup for in-plane and out-of-plane measurements, i.e., magnetic field applied parallel and perpendicular to the sample plane, respectively.

Atomic force microscope (AFM) for the topographic characterization of nanostructures, equipped with external coils for magnetic force microscopy (MFM).
