Chemistry
Following recent significant investment in the Department of Chemistry, we have a wide array of state-of-the-art analytical facilities for materials synthesis and characterisation.
As a fully cross-departmental Centre, through Materials Science Lancaster it is possible to access to a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities across Lancaster University.
Following recent significant investment in the Department of Chemistry, we have a wide array of state-of-the-art analytical facilities for materials synthesis and characterisation.
The Department of Engineering has extensive facilities for additive manufacturing and characterisation of material properties.
Within the Department of Physics, the Quantum Technology Centre and clean room offer state-of-the-art facilities for nanoscale device fabrication and characterisation.
Within each department, we also have specialised facilities for conducting materials science research:
One of only two systems in the UK, the SAFER (Scanning electron microscope Analysis with Fib, Ebsd/Eds and Raman) system in the School of Engineering offers a huge range of analysis options to probe materials in the micron/nanoscale domain.
This annexe to Physics houses a suite of 3 laboratories where vibration, noise and electromagnetic disturbance have been drastically reduced, creating an "ultra-clean" environment for measurement and characterisation.
Our Physics Department's XPS machine allows us to explore functional surfaces and tailored interfaces at the nanoscale.
