Due to their extreme sensitivity to adsorbing molecules, most surface experiments have to be carried out in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). Ideally, multiple different techniques are used to explain and understand the phenomena happening on an atomic scale. To this end, it is often necessary to transfer a sample from one chamber to another.
As a showcase, we discuss the analysis of perovskite oxides, produced by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) as thin films, in another UHV chamber that allows atomically resolved STM/AFM imaging with a Q+-sensor at liquid N2/He - temperatures. The home built UHV suitcase consists of three stages divided by gate valves. It has a scroll pump for rough vacuum, a turbo pump to reach high vacuum, a NEG pump and a cryopump to ensure a clean transfer and an ION/NEG combination to provide UHV conditions long term in the storage stage, where the sample is transported.
