WE are here to help
Every physicist wants to find or confirm new knowledge. For that you might need a distinctive experimental setup. Such a setup is usually an unique collection of many subsystems that have to work together seamlessly.
We are here to help you integrating all the parts into a cohesive and fully functioning system. With our help your system will be up and running in no-time which allows your researchers to not waste time on system integration but instead focus on what they do best: obtaining knowledge from beyond the boundaries of what is known.
De Voogd Scientific helps you building setups for:
- low temperature physics: We have experience with cryostats and dilution refrigerators for quantum computing and scanning probe microscopy.
- thin film / new material science: We have experience with high temperature CVD reactors in combination with optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and X-ray scattering experiments at synchrotrons.
Our strength is that we also can supply custom parts that might be needed to make several systems working together as whole. We can make these custom parts for you under our brand Godfather Instrumentation.
Let us show you some of our services:
design of the experiment
We design your experiment based on detailed information about your measurement goals and the resources that are available.
You might want to find the critical and most challenging parameters in the experimental setup. We can extract those for you using different kinds of analysis like geometric modelling, approximation-based derivations, or finite-element-analysis simulations.
We can design (a part of) the setup and install the system. Through us you will have access to an extensive network of research instrument designers and suppliers.
how this service works
For this service we are usually involved from the start of the project – sometimes even during the proposal phase. We make sure to agree with all partners on a work schedule and we will have frequent but short moments of contact during the development track(s).
adjustment of the setup
If your research setup needs to be upgraded for your next goal we can make that happen. We will update your existing CAD-drawings, find a solution for eventual technical problems, and arrange the implementation of the adjustments.
how this service works
Based on your requirements we propose a solution. After agreement, the solution is implemented, eventually together with one of our partners. This service can be combined with our coaching service to get your researchers quickly used to the updated setup.
coaching
Get your researchers quickly up to speed with your new research project with our coaching services. In the research world it can be tough to retain practical knowledge in your research group. We can coach your new PhD-student, Postdoc, or other researcher in overcoming the steep learning curve that comes before doing meaningful experiments in quantum physics and material science.
how this service works
We join your researchers frequently, for example half a day a week for a certain period of time. Moreover, we have direct contact with the researchers over phone, email, or WhatsApp over this period and especially during and after challenging tasks.
electronics and coding
Getting your electronics and control software right is a prerequisite to make your research successful. Signal generation, measurement, and signal processing is the core of our knowledge and we offer consultancy services for just that.
For software, we create code for instrument control and signal processing using the python, LabVIEW, and C coding languages. We aim to deliver flat code with as less as reasonably possible dependencies to offer your researchers the flexibility to alter the code easily and on the fly if needed.
Moreover we offer custom solutions that allow your subsystems to harmoniously work together. Our parts are made under our Godfather instrumentation brand.
how this service works
After identification of the requirements we propose a solution. After agreement, the solution is implemented.
