Direct award of Low temperature scanning tunnelling microscope - 2025-0897314

cially customized to adopt optical components that are cooled to 4K and also adopts a 1K cooler for cooling superconducting SNSPD detector - operating at 0.9K. The aim of the research is to investigate molecular ices formed at interstellar conditions, including measurements of their characteristic f

ingerprints by detection of infrared emission from vibrationally excited constituent molecules. The structure of polar molecular ices formed on e.g. graphitic surfaces are predominantly governed by the intermolecular interaction with a very
