Advanced Materials Research

Advanced characterization of your novel materials.

Composition Analysis

We can measure the chemical properties of your materials. Elemental composition and bonding of bulk materials as well as elemental depth profiles of multi-component systems.

Methods of analysis

  • Near surface composition (% level) and binding energyXPS – ESCA
  • Bulk elemental compositionSEM/EDS
  • Composition and thickness of thin films on substratesRBS
  • Organic composition and molecular fingerprint identificationFTIR
  • Thin film and trace contamination analysisSIMS

Microstructure

Micro and macro crystallinity of your materials can be analyzed to provide understanding of changes in various growth parameters.

Methods of analysis

  • Crystallinity (phase identification) and grain size analysis of bulk materialsXRD / XRR
  • Micro-crystallinity (phase identification)TEM – EDS/EELS
  • Grain size and surface analysisSEM/EDS

Surface Characterization

Surface analysis such as roughness and composition can be tested.

Methods of analysis

  • Atomic Force MicroscopyAFM
  • Raman SpectroscopyRaman
  • Trace metalsHR-ICP-MS
