Objective/function
-
The laboratory is active in the field of mineral vibrational spectroscopy
Research provided
-
Transmission and reflection mid- and near-IR of minerals and other solids, Raman micro-analysis of materials
Advantages
-
Highly skilled, experienced researcher using state-of-the-art equipment
-
Specialization in diamond analysis
Available equipment
-
FTIR: Open beam and micro-chamber at 400-7500 cm-1 and IR microscope (600-4500 cm-1) measurements of transmitted and reflected light and determination of nitrogen speciation and concentration
-
Raman: Two lasers (514 nm Ar+ and 780 nm solid state) and a heating-freezing stage
-
The Renishaw 1000 Micro-Raman spectrometer, equipped with 514 nm Ar+ laser and 780 nm diode laser, Olympus microscope with automated stage and a thermo-electrically cooled CCD detector
-
Linkam 600 heating-freezing stage
-
A Nicolet 740 spectrometer, covering the mid-IR (400-5000 cm-1, using glowbar source, KBr beamsplitter and MCT detector) and the near IR (1900-10000 cm-1, halogen source, CaF2 beamsplitter and InSb detector). It is coupled to a Bruker IRscope II microscope with MCT detector (600-5000 cm-1), but may also be used with the regular sample chamber, a micro-beam device or diffused reflectance attachment
