The CAMCOR Surface Analytical facility houses instrumentation for characterizing the composition of the outermost few nanometers of materials, and for imaging surface topography and chemistry. Presently the main techniques available are X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS), Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
Announcements:
- A Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope (Witec Alpha300 S) was installed in the Surface Analytical Facility in the spring of 2009. The SNOM instrument has Raman capability and features an integrated AFM to allow topographic and optical imaging of the same features without having to move the sample.
Instrumentation includes:
