Four Mirror Xenon High Temperature Floating Zone Furnace
The four mirror Xenon floating-zone furnace is a high temperature optical furnace that can be operated at an elevated temperature between 1500-3000+° C. Accessible via the PARADIM-IQM equipment sharing agreement, users can operate this furnace under a pressure of up to 10 bar of argon, air, oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases. Typical sample size that can be accommodated in this furnace are 4-16 mm in diameter and 1-15 cm in height.
High Pressure Supercritical Fluid Optical Floating Zone Furnace
The first optical floating zone furnace in the world to achieve stable operation at 300 bar of pressure, the high-pressure supercritical fluid optical floating zone furnace enables crystal growth at elevated pressure and temperatures.

Thin Film Growth Facility
The PARADIM Thin Film Growth Facility is located at Cornell University. Together with the bulk crystal film growth facilities at Johns Hopkins, it provides unprecedented capabilities for discovery of new materials and interfaces.
Tilted LASER Diode Floating Zone Furnace (LDFZ)
The real-time tilting laser-diode floating-zone (LDFZ) is a new variant of the floating-zone melting technique where the molten-zone is established using a set of near-IR (974 nm) lasers mounted on optical platforms that enables real-time control of angle of incidence. Compared to traditional light sources, laser diodes offer exceptional temperature stability and angled heating imparts additional stability to the molten zone. The result is a highly versatile synthetic capability not only for traditional floating zone growths, but also for travelling solvent growth of incongruent melting materials, as well as the laser pedestal growth of a wide range of specimens.
