arQtika LCW X1
Piezo-based cryogenic nanopositioner for low temperature environments
Onnes Technologies offers a cryogenic nanopositioner that is extremely reliable and dissipates extraordinary little heat.
Key Benefits
of working with arQtika
Cryo-walking technology does not depend on static and dynamic friction differences, making it a robust instrument over the complete temperature range.
The operational configuration is minimized in terms of driving voltages, driving frequency and capacitance, allowing operation in the lowest loss factor regime of piezo material.
Always applying significant force between the driving piezo component and the slider results in a stiff and robust design. This is essential to minimize drift effects and prevents cross-talk.
Cryo-walking positioning is well controlled, making the arQtika an excellent tool for achieving accurate positioning over long travel distances. Combined with a capacitance-based, absolute position sensor, you can get to the right destination and back efficiently.
arQtika works with any wiring - standard, RF, superconductive. There are no requirements regarding resistivity or attenuation.

Accessories
Motion Controller
Control your positioning in open loop, closed loop or via triggering hardware such as Nanonis. Either way, positioning tasks are executed in a well-controlled way with full flexibility. One Motion Controller can take care of all positioning in your experiment.Position Sensor
A capacitance-based position sensor over the full travel range allows for absolute readout for closed loop operation at milli-Kelvin temperatures continuously.Heat links
For quick thermalization heat links can be included in the positioning setup at milli-Kelvin temperatures. We offer gold-plated copper litze that easily integrate with our positioners. Due to the high payload capability, the positioners are not affected by including heat links.Typical applications
What arQtika can do for you
Low Temperature Scanning Probe Microscope
The characterization of materials and devices at low temperatures is essential to understanding the fundamental physical concepts underlying their behavior. Onnes Technologies offers with arQtika a platform that works excellently in preserving the low temperature and low vibration environment while offering full flexibility in positioning - long travel ranges, nm accuracy and large payloads.
Quantum Optics
Probing with light in quantum emitter research for Quantum Communication developments benefits from reliable, steady positioning with excellent position readout on the nm level. Moreover, in case of scanning optical cavities the requirements related to travel range and stability are pushed even further. arQtika is a fully piezo-based solution that tackles these challenges with absolute reliable operation.
