Electron Diffraction Facility view

Electron diffraction facility

Our electron diffraction facility enables single-crystal structure analysis of crystallites too small for single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) experiments.
Researchers in the powder x-ray diffraction facility

Powder and materials x-ray diffraction facility

The powder and materials diffraction facilities offer a range of capabilities from simple phase identification through to complex materials analysis.
Single crystal x-ray diffraction facility

Single crystal X-ray diffraction facility

We provide a structure characterisation service and conduct research in chemical crystallography. We are home to four extremely high powered rotating anode diffractometers, with two copper source and two molybdenum source instruments.

The nCATS Facility is a collection of equipment centred around the activity of the nCATS research group. 

The equipment can be characterised into various ‘themes’ of what they can measure or can be associated with:

Tribological measurements

Corrosion and wear-corrosion equipment

Characterisation Equipment

 

If you are looking for a particular area then follow the links below for a brief description and list of equipment within each theme. 
The equipment links will then direct you to the appropriate section of equipment pages.

 

If you require any information about the facility equipment, its capabilities and usage charges please contact the facility manager Dr. Terry Harvey
