Nanoparticle Deposition
Specialists
Nikalyte have drawn on more than 20 years of experience to bring you the best nanoparticle deposition equipment available. Whether you’re an experienced user or just starting out, we have the equipment you need. Our systems and components operate under vacuum so all the background material impurities are removed, creating ultra-pure, non-agglomerated nanoparticles.
Ultra-pure Nanoparticle Technology
Nikalyte offers a range of nanoparticle deposition equipment to suit your application from benchtop recipe controlled deposition with the NL50 to UHV equipment with complete user control over nano particle size and composition. Alternatively take advantage of Nikalyte’s extensive experience with our bespoke coatings service.
UHV Deposition System
Multi-purpose PVD system with nanoparticle deposition capability at its core.
Modular PVD System
Non-planar & planar, powder coating and reel-to-reel deposition system.
UHV Nanoparticle Source
Deposit pure and alloy nanoparticles with fine control over size and composition.
UHV Sputter Sources
Stellar
High-quality UHV compatible circular magnetron sputter sources.
SERS substrates
Nanoparticle SERS substrates with ppb sensitivity. Choose from silver or gold.
Advantages of nanoparticles deposited in vacuum
Nanoparticles deposited in vacuum are free of hydrocarbons and other contamination which typically plague chemical techniques. Nanoparticles deposited in the NL50 are:
Monodisperse and non-clumping
Ultra-pure and crystalline
Hydrocarbon and ligand-free
Consistent and repeatable results
Deposit nanoparticles as needed directly onto the target substrate
The above properties enables vacuum deposited nanoparticles to boost performance and sensitivity whilst also reducing the required loading of expensive materials for applications such as SERs and catalysis.
