facilities
The NANO Group at the University of New Hampshire has extensive laboratory facilities for synthetic organic and supramolecular chemistries, thin film preparation including SAMs, surface analysis, various spectroscopies and microscopy. Analytical instrumentation available to the NANO Group is extensive and includes:
-
3 High field NMR spectrometers- Varian 400 and Varian 500 MHz spectrometers with autosampler capabilities, inverse and nanoprobes; Bruker 360 MHz multi-nuclear spectrometer.
-
2 Atomic Force Microscopes- Veeco Nanoscope IIIa MultiMode Scanning Probe Microscope and PSIA XE-100 Scanning Probe Microscope.
-
Thermo-Electron GC-MS (Trace GC Ultra, DSQ MS), UV-vis (Evolution 300), HPLC (Finnigan Surveyor: LC pump, autosampler, PDA detector), and FT-IR (Nicolet 6700).
-
A Kratos Axis HS XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) system for surface analysis, surface chemical mapping, and depth profiling as deep as 1 nm.
-
An Amray 3300FE field emission SEM with PGT Imix-PC microanalysis system.
-
2 transmission electron microscopes- JEOL 100S TEM (teaching instrument: accelerating voltages from 40, 60, 80, and 100kV, magnification from 1000X to 100kX, resolution capabilities of 1.5 nm); Jeol 2000FX TEM with an EDS microanalysis system (research microscope equipped with an LaB6 gun to give high performance in TEM, STEM, SEM, EDS, and diffraction modes; accelerating voltages are selectable from 80kV to 200kV and magnifications from 100X to 1000kX with a possible resolution of 0.24 nm in TEM Mode).
-
State of the art chromatography and mass spectrometry equipment including matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALDI) and electrospray time of flight (ESTOF) instruments.
-
State of the art ion-beam assisted deposition (IBAD) chamber with off-normal deposition and ion bombardment capabilities.
