Nanotechnology Research - Universities

An experimental group in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering that is studying spin dynamics and spin-electronics in nanoscale magnetic materials and devices. The Beach group's work aims at exploring the fundamental underpinnings of new concepts in spin-based data storage, computation, and communications.

MIT.nano is MIT's central resource for nanoscale discovery and innovation, located in the Lisa T. Su Building. Its facilities include Fab.nano cleanroom space, Characterization.nano metrology and characterization suites, and the Immersion Lab.

The Montana Microfabrication Facility is a resource for Montana State University, external academics, and commercial entities that provides affordable access to a range of micro and nanofabrication equipment. They support applications ranging from fundamental physics to biology, microfluidics, MEMS and MOEMS, and sensors. The facilities include 2,200 square feet of Class 1,000 and Class 10,000 cleanroom laboratories with broad capabilities in lithography, thin film deposition, thermal processing, wet and dry etching, packaging, and testing.

This facility is dedicated to the growth and characterization of magnetic films, magnetic particles, and magnetic interfaces with the goal of understanding their intrinsic behavior. A technological example of the utility of such films is in non-volatile magnetic random access memories (MRAM), high density archival storage, and magnetic nano-particle based sensors.
