Analysis and analytics

Our facilities provide elemental analysis and crystallographic and structural characterisation of a wide range of samples and scale lengths, all supported by dedicated experts. Techniques cover surface and bulk characterisation. Our analysis expertise also covers dedicated data and computational analysis support.

Low Energy Ion Scattering Facility (LEIS)

Low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) is a method of determining the composition of the outer atomic layers of a material’s surface. This region is inherently involved in processes such as growth, etching, adsorption, adhesion, and others.
Scanning Electron Microscopy Facility (SEMSRF)

Scanning Electron Microscopy Facility (SEMSRF)

The SEM-SRF and its staff have wide ranging expertise in all aspects of Electron Microscopy imaging and microstructural characterisation of a wide range of sample types across multiple scale ranges (mm to nm). Utilising complementary analysis techniques, to facilitate complete characterisation, enables researchers to probe and find answers to their research questions.
X Ray Diffraction Facility (XRD)

X Ray Diffraction Facility (XRD)

The extreme surface sensitivity X Ray Diffraction is designed to enable and accelerate the advanced structural characterisation of nanomaterials across multiple material classes with a wide range of morphologies targeted for specific application.
