Achieving a controlled atmosphere typically involves advanced equipment and technologies. These include:
Gas Purification Systems These systems remove impurities from gases used during the synthesis of nanomaterials. High-purity gases are essential to avoid unwanted chemical reactions.
Temperature and Humidity Control Precise control of temperature and humidity is often achieved using specialized climate control systems. These systems ensure that the working environment remains stable, which is crucial for processes like atomic layer deposition.
Vacuum Chambers Vacuum chambers are used to create low-pressure environments, which are often required for techniques like electron microscopy or thin-film deposition. These chambers help in minimizing the presence of air molecules that could interfere with the process.
