At the University of Sussex Nanoscience group we are experienced in synthesis and analysis. We can offer
advice about the structure, composition and chemical properties of nanomaterials. The following instruments are owned by the group
and are available for commercial work and industrial use:
BET
SEM
EDX
AFM/STM
XRD
GCMS
EIS
UV-Vis
JW-BK122W BET Surface Area and Pore Size Analyser
Jeol 820 Scanning Electron Microscope
Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy
Veeco DI3100 Atomic Force Microscope/ Scanning Tunneling Microscope
Siemens D500 powder X-ray Diffractometer
Varian CP 3800 Gas Chromatograph with Mass Spectrometer
Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy
Ultraviolet and Visible light diffuse reflectance Spectrometry
Additionally in the department we have access to:
NMR
MS
UV-Vis
FTIR
HPLC
AAS
FS
XRD
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometers
Mass Spectrometers
Ultraviolet and Visible light spectrometers
Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometers
High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Atomic Absorption Spectrometers
Fluorescence Spectrometers
Single Crystal X-ray Diffractometer
On top of this we have 15 years of experience in Ultra High Vacuum UVH
technology (such as STM, LEED, AES
and XPS). We also specialise in developing new methods for thin film depositions and synthesis of composite
nanomaterials. This includes techniques such as including e-beam evaporation, catalytic growth and sputter deposition. We welcome any proposals
for academic or industrial, discussions and collaborations
