Equipment

As we construct our lab, the list of our available equipment will be found here.

Nanoindentation Machine
Nanoindentation Machine Mechanical Tester

This machine uses a gemstone head to make a calibrated dent in the sample and measure the resistance as it does so.

Flash DSC
Flash DSC Non-Equilibrium Thermal Measurement

This machine uses a special chip to rapidly heat or cool a sample, measuring the temperature change as it does so. This lets it measure non-equalibrium changes due to temperature.

Automatic DSC
Automatic DSC Equilibrium Thermal Measurement

This machine uses a small furnace and chiller to heat and cool a sample and measure the change in temperature as it does so. This lets it measure roughly equalibrium changes due to temperature.

X-ray Florescence Analyzer
X-ray Florescence Analyzer Elemental Composition Measuring

This machine uses an X-ray to cause atoms to fluoresce depending on their atomic number, allowing for the measuring of chemical composition.

Robot Arm
Robot Arm Sample Movement

This machine uses a suction cup to pick up and move samples on wafers between the different machines for processing and testing.
