X-Ray Diffraction & Solid-State Characterization Lab
Overview
The X-Ray Diffraction and Solid-State Characterization Lab provides access to instrumentation and services needed to characterize crystalline solid-state samples. The lab specializes in crystallography, single crystal x-ray diffraction, and powder x-ray diffraction. We use x-ray diffraction methods to solve structures of single crystals and to identify and characterize crystalline powder samples. The lab also provides access to TGA, DSC, FT-IR, and UV-VIS instruments and is extensively used by synthetic and materials scientists working at ±«Óãtv and other academic institutions and commercial entities.
