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 energy — XPS – ESCA
  • Bulk elemental composition — SEM/EDS
  • Composition and thickness of thin films on substrates — RBS
  • Organic composition and molecular fingerprint identification — FTIR
  • Thin film and trace contamination analysis — SIMS

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 materials — XRD / XRR
  • Micro-crystallinity (phase identification) — TEM – EDS/EELS
  • Grain size and surface analysis — SEM/EDS

Surface Characterization

Surface analysis such as roughness and composition can be tested.

Methods of analysis

  • Atomic Force Microscopy — AFM
  • Raman Spectroscopy — Raman
  • Trace metals — HR-ICP-MS
