NL-UHV enables the generation and deposition of nanoparticles in an Ultra-High vacuum to create functionalized surfaces on samples.
The properties of the nanoparticle coatings can be precisely controlled, including size, composition, and structure, allowing for tailored properties.
NL-UHV instruments allow the direct deposition of ultra-pure nanoparticles on a wide range of substrates and materials.
The film density can be adjusted, and the coating adheres well to the sample surface.
Available in different configurations, including single 1″ and 2″ sources, as well as the triple 1″ source NL-DX3, which enables the deposition of up to three materials individually or as alloys.
The NL-QMS mass filter offers advanced control over nanoparticle deposition, allowing the scanning or filtering of nanoparticles by mass or diameter in real-time.
The NL-QMS is operated through user-friendly WindowsTM software, providing intuitive control over the deposition process.
Introducing the Ultra High Vacuum- Alloy Nanoparticle Deposition
The Nikalyte NL-UHV, Alloy Nanoparticle Deposition instrument, range enables the generation and deposition of nanoparticles in Ultra-High vacuum onto your sample to create a functionalised surface. The properties of the nanoparticle coatings can be tailored through the precise control over the size, composition and structure of the nanoparticles.
Unlike chemical techniques, the NL-UHV range of instruments allows the direct deposition of ultra-pure nanoparticles onto various substrates and materials. The film density can be tuned and the film itself can be highly adherent to the sample surface.
The NL-UHV is available with a single 1”, 2” source or a triple 1” source, the NL-DX3. The NL-DX3 allows the deposition of up to three materials individually or as alloys using two or three materials simultaneously.
For the ultimate control of nanoparticle deposition, the Nikalyte NL-QMS mass filter allows the deposited nanoparticles to be scanned or filtered by mass or nanoparticle diameter in real time, allowing you to optimise the growth conditions. The NL-QMS is controlled via our simple and intuitive WindowsTM software.

Key Benefits
Nanoparticles are formed in a vacuum through a process called gas-terminated deposition. Control the properties of the nanoparticle coatings by varying a range of process parameters, including gas flow, gas type, magnetron power and aggregation length (Lg) or through changing the aggregation zone aperture size.

Nikalyte NL50 benchtop system enables the deposition of ultra-pure metallic nanoparticles in research laboratories.
It’s designed to be user-friendly and convenient, allowing for easy and repeatable deposition of non-agglomerated nanoparticles on samples up to 50mm in diameter.
The deposition process is operated through a touchscreen interface, making it simple to use. Training for routine operations can be completed in as little as 10 minutes.
NL50 allows for the modification of process variables, including nanoparticle size, distribution, and layer thickness.
Samples can be loaded through a clear chamber door and can undergo plasma cleaning before deposition.
Changing the source materials can be done quickly, within 5 minutes.
The vacuum deposition process ensures the production of ultra-pure nanoparticles without hydrocarbons or other contaminants commonly found in chemical techniques.
The nanoparticle coating is directly deposited onto the substrate, and after a typical cycle time of 30 minutes, it is ready for analysis without the need for additional drying or purification steps.
