The Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition (PEALD) system produces ultra-thin films one atomic layer at a time. Plasma activation allows film growth at lower temperatures compared to traditional ALD. This instrument is ideal for creating uniform coatings for nanoscale devices and semiconductor structures.

The electron beam evaporator deposits thin films by heating a source material with a focused electron beam in a vacuum chamber. The evaporated material condenses onto a substrate, forming highly pure coatings. This method is commonly used for depositing metals and high-purity materials in semiconductor fabrication.

The AJA ATC-2200 Magnetron Sputter System deposits thin films using physical vapor deposition (PVD). It uses ionized gas to eject atoms from a target material that then coat a substrate surface. Researchers use this system to create thin metal, oxide, and compound films used in microelectronics and nanotechnology.

Three-dimensional (3D) common coordinate framework (CCF) and reference atlas that defines the spatial organization of cortical and subcortical structures in the adult human brain. This atlas modifies and expands the Allen Human Reference atlas (2020). This atlas parcellates the MNI152 ICBM2009b symmetric template, an averaged template from 152 young adult brains (mean age: 25.02 years, range: 18-44 years, 86 male, 66 female). The template has been sampled to 500 um3 voxel resolution and symmetrized along the right-left axis. This atlas includes annotations for all subcortical and cortical structures using a unified ontology developed for cross-species comparisons, the Harmonized Ontology of the Mammalian Brain Anatomy (HOMBA).
