Description

The University of Sheffield's department of Physics and Astronomy are looking to procure 2 types of closed-cycle cryostat systems for optical spectroscopy of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs): Lot 1 - Optical Table Cryostat for Photoluminescence Imaging Lot 2 - Standalone Optical Cryostat for Long Duration Measurements The University of Sheffield is not a contracting authority for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Directive 2014/24/EU) as amended by the Public Procurement (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020. The University is, on a voluntary basis, operating under the Public Contracts Regulations (as defined above) for this procurement case and is therefore advertising this opportunity in Finder a Tender with an obligation to comply with these regulations. By doing so, it does not become a contracting authority and there is no implied obligation to comply with procurement legislation for other procurement cases.

Lot Division

1 Optical Table Cryostat for Photoluminescence Imaging

A closed-cycle cryostat system is required for optical spectroscopy of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The principal uses will be for micro-photoluminescence and photoluminescence imaging from self- assembled InGaAs QDs in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
2 Standalone Optical Cryostat for Long Duration Measurements

Up to 2 closed-cycle cryostat systems are required for optical spectroscopy of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The principal use will be for micro-photoluminescence measurements of self- assembled InGaAs QDs in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, in particular long-duration measurements under resonant laser excitation that require very high stability and low vibration.
