The
Environmental Geochemistry and Mineralogy Group maintains two
large, wet chemistry laboratories in the Earth and Planetary Sciences
Building. These spaces includes standard wet chemical
equipment,
Coy Laboratory Products anaerobic chambers, UV-Vis spectrophotometer,
muffle and tube furnaces, and crystal synthesis and polishing
equipment. The group also has a dedicated laboratory space
that
houses an Agilent Technologies model 5500 Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)
capable of imaging both in air and aqueous solution.
An array of other analytical tools are available across campus:
Department
of Earth and Planetary Sciences
Major equipment includes: A new JEOL-8200 electron microprobe, Siemens
SRS-200 and SRS-300 sequential X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, a
Rigaku powder X-ray diffractometer, HoloLab 5000-532 and 5000-633 Raman
microprobes, and a Nicolet Nexus 670 FTIR spectrometer with ATR
attachments.
Laboratory for Space Sciences
Major equipment includes: A Cameca IMS 3f SIMS, a Cameca NanoSIMS 50
ion microprobe, an Auger Nanoprobe, a JEOL 2000FX TEM, and a JEOL 840A
SEM.
Jens
Environmental Molecular and Nanoscale Analysis Laboratory
Major equipment include: A Micrometrics Gemini 2375 BET Surface Area
and Pore Volume Measurement Instrument, an Agilent 7500ce ICP-MS, a
Shimadzu TOC-500 total organic carbon analyzer, and a Nicolet Nexus 470
FTIR spectrometer with ATR attachment.
Center for Materials
Innovation (CMI)
Major equipment includes: A JEOL JEM-2100F scanning field emission
transmission electron microscope with electron energy loss spectroscopy
(EELS) capability and a JEOL JSM-7001FLV field emission scanning
electron microscope (FE-SEM) with an energy dispersive spectrometer
(EDS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) detector.
Nano
Research Facility (NRF)
Major equipment includes: An FEI Nova 2300 SEM, an FEI Spirit TEM, a
Digital Bioscope AFM, and a Veeco Nanoman AFM.
The group also frequently uses a number of beamlines at the
(APS) at Argonne National Laboratory.
The APS is the brightest X-ray source in the
Western hemisphere and offers access to a number of X-ray
spectroscopic, microscopic, and diffraction/scattering techniques not
possible in a laboratory setting.
